A.首先,hold与a United States citizen主谓不一致;其次,making放在句中夹心修饰,如果修饰immigrants则是错误的逻辑关系
B. 同A:hold与a United States citizen主谓不一致;with短语做伴随状语,逻辑主语为immigrants,表达的是law是为immigrants拥有的,逻辑错误。
C. it指代不清;A law passed in 1993 that…有作为immigrants同位语的歧义;idiom正确的短语是make it a crime for sb. to do,用doing错误。
D.正确;Because of结构直接接的名词必须能表达出"原因",这里because of a law,已经能够表达出是immigrants found that的直接原因
E. being一看就是冗余;due to在GMAT中不放在句首

Ron的解释:

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)

i believe you've misconstrued our advice not to write 'because of V-ing', in exactly that form.
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')
