I read somewhere that it might just be. And people complain about immigrants crossing "illegally".

Most Americans couldn't even pass the tests that they have planned out.

It should be a requirement. I think that if you want to be part of this country you should be familiar with the history and understand the country you are about to aware allegiance to.

They have already started a hard test to become and American Citizen. You need to know more about Americas history,leaders, and know how to speak English between 50% and up . These standard were set due to match other countries standards the are used for citizenship. Plus when it comes down to it they just want more people to know about this country better due to the fact American born citizen are not good a remember most things about this country either.

Most Americans couldn't pass the test if their citizenship depended on it. But I am for the tests, I think it gives immigrants a better appreciation of our democracy and teaches them why this country is so great. Maybe we should require tests before people can vote too.

I don't know about a degree in American History, but they should at least be able to speak English, for goodness sake!

If you are so dumb you can't figure out the test, or care so little about being a citizen that you think you have some special 'right' to it without studying, we don't want you.
And yes, I've taken several versions of it.

Millions of people have passed it, why can't the current illegals do the same.
