Educating Immigrants On Being Americans

The government has unveiled a draft of a new citizenship test they will be trying out in several cities. The questions on the test are certainly things that all American citizens should know. I would probably want a more involved test that goes into the basics of the rights and privileges of Americans and emphasizes not only our founding documents but at least some of the documents that support them.

Never the less the article claims that immigrants will be required to show a deeper understanding of American history and government which is an idea I support. I do realize that education is only part of the solution as human beings seem to forget knowledge they are not using.

The one complaint I have with the test is the statement “equality for all Americans” which is correct if you are talking of their possession of natural human rights but is not correct if you are talking socioeconomic standing. The later is a teaching of socialist and not of the Founders of the United States..

This sounds like a step in the right direction though it does not solve the illegal invasion the United States is undergoing.
