Why does the United States require citizenship applicants to speak English and have knowledge of American government?

History

Answer:

To preserve cultural homogeneity.

Explanation:

At its roots, a nation is a group of people who identify under similar characteristics and operate under a central government. There is more to it than that, but that's a good foundation. To ensure that all people share these characteristics, citizen tests make potential immigrants learn key characteristics of the nation they intend to inhabit. In a micro scale, think of the government as someone's home. One would only invite someone else in if they were confident the person coming in knew how to behave in a home. A citizenship test is the way of ensuring that.

Why English? English is not an official language, but it is spoken by the majority and so knowing English will help one integrate within society.

Why American Government knowledge? Some of it, truthfully, is very complex. It is not a perfect system and some of this knowledge is designed to keep people out. On the flip side, some of it comes down to wanting people to know how the law works in the U.S.A.

What we can say with certainty is that Clinton served as president during the last eight years of a decade-long economic expansion that stands as the longest boom in U.S. history. Clinton saw a gain of nearly 21 million jobs during his tenure .Certainly Clinton deserves some credit for that remarkable economic growth, but just as certainly he can’t claim all the credit. How much he deserves is a matter of opinion that will probably be debated for years to come. By the time he left office, the economy was slowing rapidly, and it slipped into recession<span> in March 2001, just weeks after George W. Bush was sworn in.</span>
