试题解析
细节题。根据第四段首句的“we’re saying we want you to work in these places”和第二句最后的“then you’re disposable”;and连接的前后两句实际是转折关系。look the other way本指“有意忽视某些不好的事情”,结合后面的“一旦国家安全被提上日程,移民工人的安危就被置之不理了”进行推测,look the other way in terms of what our laws are指“美国在劳动力紧缺时期对移民工人的非法地位睁一眼闭一眼”。同时,只有如此解释,美国在不同时期对待移民工人的不同态度才能形成鲜明对比。
