Read the following excerpt before answering the next question. I spent a lot of time working on globalization when I was president,coming to terms with the fundamental fact of interdependence that goes far beyond economics: open borders,easy travel,easy immigration,free flow of money as well as people,products,and services.I tried to figure out how to maximize the dynamism of global interdependence and still broaden its impact in terms of economics and opportunity.The one thing that I am quite sure of is that interdependence is not a choice,it's not a policy,it is the inevitable condition of our time.So,divorce is not an option....
Therefore,the mission of the moment clearly is to build up the positive and reduce the negative forces of global interdependence in a way that enables us to keep score in the right way.Are people going to be better off,will our children have a better chance,will we be more united than divided?

Read the following excerpt before answering the next question. This morning,Secretary [of the Department of Homeland Security] Napolitano announced new actions my administration will take to mend our nation's immigration policy,to make it more fair,more efficient and more just,specifically for certain young people sometimes called DREAMers.
Now,these are young people who study in our schools,they play in our neighborhoods,they're friends with our kids,they pledge allegiance to our flag.They are Americans in their heart,in their minds,in every single way but one: on paper.They were brought to this country by their parents,sometimes even as infants,and often have no idea that they're undocumented until they apply for a job or a driver's license or a college scholarship....
That's what gave rise to the Dream Act.It says that if your parents brought you here as a child,you've been here for five years and you're willing to go to college or serve in our military,you can one day earn your citizenship....
Now,as I said in my speech on the economy yesterday,it makes no sense to expel talented young people who,for all intents and purposes,are Americans.They've been raised as Americans,understand themselves to be part of this country....
Now,let's be clear.This is not amnesty.This is not immunity.This is not a path to citizenship.It's not a permanent fix.This is a temporary,stopgap measure that lets us focus our resources wisely while giving a degree of relief and hope to talented,driven,patriotic young people.It is the-it is the right thing to do.

Read the following excerpt before answering the next question. I spent a lot of time working on globalization when I was president,coming to terms with the fundamental fact of interdependence that goes far beyond economics: open borders,easy travel,easy immigration,free flow of money as well as people,products,and services.I tried to figure out how to maximize the dynamism of global interdependence and still broaden its impact in terms of economics and opportunity.The one thing that I am quite sure of is that interdependence is not a choice,it's not a policy,it is the inevitable condition of our time.So,divorce is not an option....
Therefore,the mission of the moment clearly is to build up the positive and reduce the negative forces of global interdependence in a way that enables us to keep score in the right way.Are people going to be better off,will our children have a better chance,will we be more united than divided?

Read the following excerpt before answering the next question. This morning,Secretary [of the Department of Homeland Security] Napolitano announced new actions my administration will take to mend our nation's immigration policy,to make it more fair,more efficient and more just,specifically for certain young people sometimes called DREAMers.
Now,these are young people who study in our schools,they play in our neighborhoods,they're friends with our kids,they pledge allegiance to our flag.They are Americans in their heart,in their minds,in every single way but one: on paper.They were brought to this country by their parents,sometimes even as infants,and often have no idea that they're undocumented until they apply for a job or a driver's license or a college scholarship....
That's what gave rise to the Dream Act.It says that if your parents brought you here as a child,you've been here for five years and you're willing to go to college or serve in our military,you can one day earn your citizenship....
Now,as I said in my speech on the economy yesterday,it makes no sense to expel talented young people who,for all intents and purposes,are Americans.They've been raised as Americans,understand themselves to be part of this country....
Now,let's be clear.This is not amnesty.This is not immunity.This is not a path to citizenship.It's not a permanent fix.This is a temporary,stopgap measure that lets us focus our resources wisely while giving a degree of relief and hope to talented,driven,patriotic young people.It is the-it is the right thing to do.
