Although you did not include the name of the article, the link to it, or any further reference, doing some research we can comment on the following.
Nathan Thornburg's position on immigration is the following.
He considers that the United States federal government has to assume a definite posture on the issue of immigration that still affects the country. In his article of 2007 titled "A Case for Amnesty," Thornburg questions the way some politicians have approached the complicated issue of immigration, the consequences for the country, and the affectation of many immigrants.
He cites some examples such as the posture of the late Republican Senator John McCain.
The point of Thornburg is that the Amnesty bill could have positive political consequences for the American government, and somehow alleviate the flux of immigration to the United States.
Nathan Thornburg is a Senior Editor for "Time" magazine, and has published other important articles such as "Dropout Nation."

Analogy
Explanation:
An analogy is a comparison of two unlike things based on the resemblance of their particular aspect. Its purpose is usually to explain or clarify something.

Answer:
D The second speaker disagrees with the first speaker and explains the history of those people who have been treated unfairly in America.
Explanation:
"Let America be America Again" is a poem written by Langston Hughes, where he explains how the American dream, the illusion of a just, strong and united America is a lie as many people are exploited, oppressed and limited.
The first speaker of the poem shows that America is indeed a land of possibilities and happiness, but that this is not available to him. The second speaker disagrees with this, and asserts that America has never been such a happy land, as countless people have been treated unfairly from the very beginnings of the country. He reinforces that America was never that dream of freedom, but that he and all the wronged will fight for it to become a real good land, for everyone.
