To analyze the scenario and determine which statement is true, we first need to understand the changes mentioned. The three changes discussed are:
1. Making immigration benefits easier to access
2. Updating the asylum system
3. Incorporating a pathway to legalization for illegal immigrants
Now let's go through the statements one by one:
Statement Option 1: Two of the changes are obstacles for migration; one is an opportunity.
To evaluate this statement, we need to determine if any of the changes make migration more difficult. None of the changes mentioned in the scenario explicitly restrict or make migration more challenging. Making immigration benefits easier to access and incorporating a pathway to legalization for illegal immigrants can be seen as opportunities for migrants. However, updating the asylum system could be seen as both an opportunity and an obstacle, as it may make the process more efficient or impose stricter requirements. So this statement is partially true.
Statement Option 2: All three changes are obstacles for migration.
This statement contradicts the information provided. The scenario explicitly mentions that the changes include making immigration benefits easier to access and incorporating a pathway to legalization for illegal immigrants. Both of these changes can be seen as opportunities, not obstacles. Moreover, updating the asylum system could also be seen as an opportunity or a challenge, so it isn't necessarily an obstacle. Thus, this statement is false.
Statement Option 3: Two changes are opportunities; one is a challenge for migration.
This statement aligns with the analysis done in Statement Option 1. The changes mentioned include opportunities like making immigration benefits easier to access and incorporating a pathway to legalization for illegal immigrants. However, updating the asylum system may present certain challenges. Therefore, this statement is true.
Statement Option 4: All three changes are opportunities for migration.
This statement accurately represents the analysis done in Statement Option 1. Two of the changes, making immigration benefits easier to access and incorporating a pathway to legalization for illegal immigrants, can indeed be seen as opportunities. However, as mentioned earlier, updating the asylum system may present challenges as well as opportunities. Therefore, this statement is false.
In conclusion, the statement that is true is: "Two changes are opportunities; one is a challenge for migration."
