I was watching Craig Ferguson a few weeks ago, and he said something like, "I had to take a test to become an American, what did YOU have to do?"
It was a joke, but it made me think. Immigrants probably DO have a better grasp of civics & history, whereas we citizens may take it for granted. I can totally picture some redneck guy saying, "I don't need to take no test, I's BORN here."
I find that amusing and scary at the same time.
