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.

Yes, but only to ensure that they understand our system of government
@9DB6JZG1yr1Y
Yes, but so should all citizens born in the United States
@8R7TY6L4yrs4Y
Yes, and it should be a high school graduation requirement.
@9F4LH351yr1Y
All citizens should be required to pass a citizenship test
@8G67WCD4yrs4Y
Only immigrants who despise Trump should be given citizenship.
@9BBKWFG2yrs2Y
There already is a civics test, in English, during the naturalization process.
There are, however, waivers and exemptions if a person qualifies for one. Regardless, a civics test exists, there are three components, reading, writing, and speaking the civics test covers important US history and government topics. So this question is moot
@9R99T9C5mos5MO
Yes, and natural citizens should also be required to take this test every 12 years to be licensed to vote
@9DQDX2P1yr1Y
Only if a passed test results in citizenship
