单选题
In order to work here the foreigner needs a work permit, which must be applied{{U}} (31) {{/U}}by his prospective employer. The problem here is that the Department of the Employment has the right to{{U}} (32) {{/U}}or refuse these permits, and there is little that can be{{U}} (33) {{/U}}about it.
It would be extremely unwise{{U}} (34) {{/U}}a foreign visitor to work without a permit, since anyone doing so is{{U}} (35) {{/U}}to immediate deportation. There are some{{U}} (36) {{/U}}to this rule, moot notably people from the Common Market countries, who are{{U}} (37) {{/U}}to work without permits, and who are often given{{U}} (38) {{/U}}residence permits of up to five years. Some{{U}} (39) {{/U}}people, such as doctors, foreign journalists,{{U}} (40) {{/U}}and others, can work without permits.
The problem with the Act is not just that some of its rules are unfair but{{U}} (41) {{/U}}it is administered, and the people who administer it.
An immigrations official has the power to stop a visitor{{U}} (42) {{/U}} these shores coming into the country.

While the appeals are being considered, the visitor has no{{U}} (45) {{/U}}but to wait sometimes for quite a long time.
Critics of the law say that immigration officials treat the{{U}} (46) {{/U}}visitors badly, and appear to accept or reject them for no{{U}} (47) {{/U}}reason. Which side of the political {{U}}(48) {{/U}}you are on, there seems to be an urgent need for a good look at the{{U}} (49) {{/U}}, for it{{U}} (50) {{/U}}frequent argument, and in the eyes of many real injustice.
