Question 7 • United States History

As president, what was George W. Bush’s main accomplishment regarding immigration?

Answer
A
He proposed and signed into law a guest worker program.
B
He authorized a 700-mile-long fence along the US border with Mexico.
C
He changed US immigration policy and allowed illegal immigrants to stay.
D
He succeeded in ending illegal immigration into the United States.

Explanation

Bush signed the Secure Fence Act of 2006, authorizing construction of about 700 miles of fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border. His proposed guest worker and broader immigration-reform plans did not become law, and the fence did not end illegal immigration. Therefore, the correct choice is “He authorized a 700-mile-long fence along the US border with Mexico.”
