The American Civics test is an examination that all immigrants must pass to gain U.S. citizenship. The test asks 10 randomly selected questions which cover U.S. history, the constitution and government. In 2015 Arizona became the first state to require High School students to pass the test before they graduate.
@9H6MPZ35mos5MO
Again, this is a stupid question. There is no single language that should be called "our country's language. Yes, the immigrants should demonstrate basic understanding in one of the 22 official languages of India.
@9FMZP8H7mos7MO
Immigrants should not become citizens
@9CQVFW99mos9MO
Yes. But only about the government.
@9CQ5PVFBiju Janata Dal9mos9MO
Citizenship should be determined by the amount of time they’ve stayed here and the contributions they make, economically and otherwise. And it shouldn’t take longer than 5 years for immigrants to get citizenship status
@9CQ4JH5Independent9mos9MO
No and citizenship is a smokescreen used to fuel hatred of others
@8T6TQVRIndependent3yrs3Y
Allow immigration of only skilled workers.
citizenship test doesn't make sense, instead their backgrounds should be checked . Immigrnts from other countries can't mug up history and other facts for passing a citizenship test, it can also promote bribes in these tests
@8QX9SQ3Bharatiya Janata3yrs3Y
They shouldn't be allowed to enter in the first place
@8Q72KLKBharatiya Janata3yrs3Y
Yes, but it should only be taken after an immigrant has lived in the country for more than 5-10 years.
@8Q6YG6SBharatiya Janata3yrs3Y
They should not be allowed
@8NVB5SMBharatiya Janata3yrs3Y
They shouldn't be allowed
@8M82QXDBharatiya Janata3yrs3Y
Immigration should be drastically reduced if not stopped.

@558YLXV2yrs2Y
Yes, but only if/when they are pursuing US citizenship or permanent residency
@8532KYJ2yrs2Y
Yes, and all American citizens should have to pass the exam as well upon turning 18
@4MTRMZM2yrs2Y
Yes, if it's fair and just.
@92JXK3J2yrs2Y
Yes, but provide those who wish to become citizens a course to learn about us, ensure that they have the best chance of passing a test, and ensure that they are willing to be a patriot.
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, it should be information of how our country functions.
@93CS3TH2yrs2Y
Yes, but provide classes on the information and make the same material and test part of high school education.
@92YHQCV2yrs2Y
Yes. However, it should only cover very basic and simple topics, but if they want to, then they can be allowed to take a test that tests more than just a basic level of understanding
@4KMQBNC2yrs2Y
Yes, and naturalized citizens should also be required to pass a citizenship test at the age of majority
@9334YP32yrs2Y
Yes, and it should also cover the Bible, church history, the law, and their rights.
@8532KYJ2yrs2Y
Yes, and citizens should have to pass the exam as well upon turning 18
@923Z93G2yrs2Y
Regardless, indefinitely halt all immigration
@ThomasJ2492yrs2Y
Yes, it should be based on how how the country functions.
@8ZLFQJW2yrs2Y
The citizenship test should be made less difficult, most citizens can’t pass it, let alone immigrants.
@85QWNPG2yrs2Y
No, it is absurd to expect them to know all of our history when many American citizens do not, instead focus on skills that could be provided to various sectors via mental acuity tests in their native language. The most important thing is merely the background checks, nothing more is truly relevant to their longterm success here.
@ThomasJJ992yrs2Y
Yes, but it should be based on how our country functions.
@4SNPK4B2yrs2Y
No, I am in general in favor of open borders. Also, citizenship tests very often turn out to contain bizarre and unnecessary questions.
@77JF5QJ2yrs2Y
Yes, and only immigrants from Europe and other Whites should be admitted
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, but it should be based on how the country functions.
@8YF4BR72yrs2Y
Yes, and students should be required to take one to graduate
@8XD6BY62yrs2Y
Yes, but it should only cover topics that our own citizens would know
@8XD6BY62yrs2Y
Yes, but it should only cover topics that our own citizens would know.
@8YB8NY32yrs2Y
Yes, but it should only cover very basic and simple topics that our own citizens would be able to pass.
@lucasnator42yrs2Y
Yes but only on a test that citizens have already proven they can pass.
@88NZKDZ2yrs2Y
Yes, and current citizens should be tested as well.
@4VSB86P2yrs2Y
Yes and all citizens should pass such a test as a requirement to vote.
@8XNT9ZQ2yrs2Y
Yes, and so should all citizens that graduate high school.
@ThomasJ13312yrs2Y
Yes, it should be based on how the country functions.
@8X8TPKQ2yrs2Y
Yes, but it should extend to all citizens. It should cover basic, simple topics, but also provide resources to prepare for the test, etc.
