Iowa, Think You Can Pass The U.S. Citizenship Test?
In Iowa, the U.S. citizenship test has been coming up thanks to the Iowa Legislature.
Nationally, President Donald Trump has signed executive orders about deporting illegal immigrants and challenging the 14th Amendment which guarantees citizenship to all people born or naturalized in the United States. These orders I'm sure have frightened immigrants trying to become U.S. citizens.
Either way, becoming a citizen and taking the citizenship test has been part of the statewide and national media news lately. This got me thinking, how many natural-born American citizens can actually pass the civics portion of the citizenship test?
Iowa, Can You Pass The U.S. Citizenship? Probably Not
A bill has been introduced in Iowa that would require students to pass the U.S. citizenship test before graduating high school. For Iowa students still in school and fresh from learning American history, government, and other things about our country, the test should be easy. But is the test really that easy?
Let's see if you would pass the U.S. citizenship test. The rules are simple:
- Pick 10 questions to answer
- If you get 6 out of 10 right, you get to stay in America!
- If you get less than 6 correct, you know what that means...
Good luck.

Did you pass? I sure hope so. You're already an American. You're smart.
Every year, immigrants wanting to become citizens are required to take the civics test in the naturalization interview. The Department of U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services has a lot of resources to help people study. If you didn't pass, then maybe you need to stop being so judgemental about people legally becoming U.S. citizens and study up more on the country you call home.
