Teachers, Parents and Friends: Could We Pass the Citizenship Test for Naturalization?

A bill was introduced in early February to cut by half the number of immigrants who can be granted citizenship in the U.S. (the bill is the Reforming American Immigration for Strong Employment Act, otherwise known as the RAISE Act). Put together with mass deportation of unlawful aliens, the U.S. is on track to lose much of its immigrant population. These policies are built on fear and the false notion that employment for American citizens will improve.
How many of us could pass the citizenship test? I ask because the process for becoming a citizen is called naturalization. There are numerous requirements, including passing a “citizenship test.”
Here is the link to 100 test questions with correct answers. Ten questions are taken randomly from the test. An immigrant must answer six questions correctly. For teachers, parents and those of us (including me) who want a refresher exercise, click here for a great series of short, catchy slides!
