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.

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.
@9FMZP8H1yr1Y
Immigrants should not become citizens
@8T6TQVR4yrs4Y
Allow immigration of only skilled workers.
@8S9BPFD4yrs4Y
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
@8QX9SQ34yrs4Y
They shouldn't be allowed to enter in the first place
@8Q72KLK4yrs4Y
Yes, but it should only be taken after an immigrant has lived in the country for more than 5-10 years.
@8Q6YG6S4yrs4Y
They should not be allowed
@8NVB5SM4yrs4Y
