From NPR News in Washington. I'm Lakshmi Singh.President Obama is putting his ideas for immigration _1_ before the people of Las Vegas, Nevada this hour.
這里是華盛頓NPR新聞，我是拉克什米·辛格。現在這個時間，奧巴馬總統正在內華達州拉斯維加斯的民眾面前宣布他的移民改革計劃。
"I'm here today because the time has come for a commonsense, comprehensive immigration reform. The time is now." Obama's visit comes a day after a bipartisan group of senators unveil their own plan for addressing the deeply divisive issue. Jude Joffe-Block, a member of Station KJZZ, reports the bipartisan plan won applause from immigrant advocates.
“我今天來到這里是因為合乎常理的全面移民改革時機已經到來。現在就是那時機。”在參議院兩黨公布爭議很大的移民改革提案的第二天，奧巴馬便造訪拉斯維加斯。據KJZZ電視臺的記者裘德·約菲·布洛克報道，兩黨合作推出的計劃贏得了移民倡導者的贊揚。
Advocates have applauded the senators' plan for _2_ a pathway to citizenship for immigrants in the country now without papers. At the same time, their voice concerns that such a path would be contingent on additional border security measures. Patrick Coyne with the Grass Root Group promised that originally reform to oppose Arizona's immigration enforcement law.
移民倡導者對參議院的計劃表示歡迎，該計劃包含為美國境內的非法移民者提供獲取公民身份的方法。同時，移民倡導者也表示，這種方法也要考慮到額外的邊境安全措施。Grass Root Group組織的帕特里克·柯因表示，改革的最初目的是反對亞利桑那州的移民立法。
"We don't need more money _3_ on border security. We've got enough out there. We don't need all of these technology to hunt down people like animals."Coyne says policies that promote family unity should _4_ a final immigration bill and her group will _5_ to advocate for that. For NPR News, I'm Jude Joffe-Block in Phoenix.But there is still a fair amount of skepticism surrounding the bipartisan proposal. Jessica Zuckerman with the Heritage Foundation says in principle all seems well.
“我們不需要在邊境安全上花費更多的金錢。我們在那上面的投入已經足夠了。我們不需要把人當作動物一樣的搜捕技術。”柯因表示，推廣家庭和睦的警察應該關注最終的移民法案，而她的組織將會繼續提倡移民改革。NPR新聞，裘德·約菲·布洛克鳳凰城報道。但是參議院的移民改革提案仍面臨相當多的質疑。美國傳統基金會的杰西卡·朱克曼表示，總體來說一切進展順利。
