Immigrants who fail – that is, answer fewer than six questions correctly - can take the standard test, which almost no one fails.

Why bother with the new test?

'Cause someone in the Gov wants to keep their job and they most create something new??

Why not just print the standard test on glossy paper with pink bows? OBTW, I'm wondering if the new citizens know who was POTUS when the Louisiana Purchase went through?

I even got a better one for them to remember with respect to some of the concepts bestowed upon a person as to what an American should be:

"In compliance with an usage coeval with the existence of our Federal Constitution, and sanctioned by the example of my predecessors in the career upon which I am about to enter, I appear, my fellow citizens, in your presence and in that of Heaven to bind myself by the solemnities of religious obligation to the faithful performance of the duties allotted to me in the station to which I have been called.

In unfolding to my countrymen the principles by which I shall be governed in the fulfillment of those duties my first resort will be to that Constitution which I shall swear to the best of my ability to preserve, protect, and defend. That revered instrument enumerates the powers and prescribes the duties of the Executive Magistrate, and in its first words declares the purposes to which these and the whole action of the Government instituted by it should be invariably and sacredly devoted -- to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to the people of this Union in their successive generations......."

Inaugural Address

- John Quincy Adams

(Friday, March 4, 1825: Washington, DC)

Makes you really trust all those claims of "strict requirements" when those illegals get on that path to citizenship huh?
