题目分析：
本题的划线部分很长，而且意思较难看懂，这里先做一个翻译：
由于一个通过与1993年的法律（该法律内容为：美国公民以金条或金币的方式持有金子是一种犯法的行为），移民们发现，在他们到达美国的时候，他们必须要扔掉自己身上所有的金子。
选项分析：
A选项：本选项最大的错误在于make的真正宾语。语法上看起来是代词it，但实际上这是一个形式主语，指代身后的从句that a United States citizen hold gold in the form of bullion or coins。虽然在语法上正确，但这在逻辑上是错误的。这点考查了“不定式和从句的区别”。用之于本题，由于make的约束力很强，所以身后的宾语只能用不定式的形式（for sb. to do sth是不定式的复合结构）。
B选项：首先，with引导的短语可以理解为一个独立主格的形式，也可以表达和后半句的因果关系，这点没有错误。错误依然出现在make的宾语上，该错误同(A)。
C选项：本选项也可以理解为一个独立主格的形式，没有错误。但是，for a United States citizen holding gold应改为不定式的复合结构for a United States citizen to hold gold。这点考查了不定式和ing的区别。用之于本题，由于make的约束力很强，所以身后的宾语只能用不定式的形式。
D选项：Correct.本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
E选项：being passed in 1933中的being突出了pass事件和found事件（主句）的同时性，但，这两个事件并不是同时发生的，而是法律先被通过，然后移民才会发现自己必须扔掉金子。因此，being必须删掉。
a, b, c can all be eliminated because of improper idiomatic usage: the proper idiom is '...a crime for blah blah blah to hold...'
'with' in choice b is also bad: it seems to imply that immigrants arrived with the law in their hands.
choice c implies that the immigrants themselves are 'a law passed in 19xx' (analogy: 'an accomplished pianist, jay made a nice living playing at weddings' - jay is an accomplished pianist. same reading applies to this sentence, although it's considerably longer and more difficult to parse)
--
choice d doesn't do that: it writes 'because of a law', where 'a law' is definitely a noun. (the subsequent modifier 'making it a crime...' modifies 'law', and is not associated with 'because of')
--
choice e changes the meaning of the sentence: taken literally, it says that the immigrants found themselves in this unenviable situation not because of the law itself, but because of the passage of the law. although somewhat plausible, this is not the intent of the original sentence.
