单选题{{B}}Passage Two{{/B}}
"With two friends I started a journey
to Greece, the most horrendous of all journeys. It had all the details of a
nightmare: barefoot walking in rough roads, risking death in the dark, police
dogs hunting us, drinking water from the rain pools in the road and a rude
awakening at gunpoint from the police under a bridge. My parents were terrified
and decided that it would be better to pay someone to hide me in the back of a
car." This 16-year-old Albanian high-school drop-out, desperate
to leave his impoverished country for the nirvana of clearing tables in an
Athens restaurant, might equally well have been a Mexican heading for Texas or
an Algerian youngster sneaking into France. He had the misfortune to be born on
the wrong side of a line that now divides the world: the line between those
whose passports allow them to move and settle reasonably freely across the
richer world's borders, and those who can do so only hidden in the back of a
truck, and with forged papers. Tearing down that divide would be
one of the fastest ways to boost global economic growth. The gap between
labour's rewards in the poor world and the rich, even for something as menial as
clearing tables, dwarfs the gap between the prices of traded goods from
different parts of the world.The potential gains from liberalizing migration
therefore dwarf those from removing barriers to world trade. But those gains can
be made only at great political cost. Countries rarely welcome strangers into
their midst. Everywhere, international migration has shot up the
list of political concerns. The horror of September 11thhas toughened
America's approach to immigrants, especially students from Muslim countries, and
blocked the agreement being negotiated with Mexico. In Europe, the far right has
flourished in elections in Austria, Denmark and the Netherlands.
Although many more immigrants arrive legally than hidden in trucks or
boats, voters fret that governments have lost control of who enters their
country. The result has been a string of measures to try to tighten and enforce
immigration rules. But however much governments clamp down, both immigration and
immigrants are here to stay. Powerful economic forces are at work. It is
impossible to separate the globalisation of trade and capital from the global
movement of people. Borders will leak; companies will want to be able to move
staff; and liberal democracies will balk at introducing the draconian measures
required to make controls truly watertight. If the European Union admits ten new
members, it will eventually need to accept not just their goods but their
workers too. Technology also aids migration. The fall in
transport costs has made it cheaper to risk a trip, and cheap international
telephone calls allow Bulgarians in Spain to tip off their cousins back home
that there are fruit-picking jobs available. The United States shares a long
border with a developing country; Europe is a bus ride from the former Soviet
block and a boat-ride across the Mediterranean from the world's poorest
continent. The rich economies create millions of jobs that the underemployed
young in the poor world willingly fill. So demand and supply will constantly
conspire to undermine even the most determined restrictions on
immigration.
