A. 給移民帶來(lái)更大的負(fù)擔(dān)； B. 展示出人類(lèi)本性更多的邪惡面 ；C. 促進(jìn)權(quán)利與自由的進(jìn)步；D. 緩解種族與階級(jí)之間的沖突
第三段“...economic stagnation or decline have almost always left society more mean-spirited and less inclusive, and have usually stopped or reversed the advance of rights and freedoms. Anti-immigrant sentiment typically increases, as does conflict between races and classes.（經(jīng)濟(jì)的衰退使社會(huì)變得更加狹隘，缺乏包容性，造成權(quán)利和自由的停滯不前甚至倒退。反移民運(yùn)動(dòng)也顯著增加，種族和階級(jí)見(jiàn)的斗爭(zhēng)也增多了），這些都是人性的邪惡面，故答案選B。
