Could you make it across the Borders?

Despite how many people feel about the United States of America, we are all still privileged to live here. Living in America is a dream for many people. Some of you are not too many generations away from an immigrant who crossed these borders in pursuit of that dream.

Living in the United States is a highly sought after privilege, which many people risk their lives for. For a person to become a citizen of the United States through the legal process, while not exactly deadly, can be extremely difficult. After dealing with the piles of paperwork, possibly years on waiting lists and all the other “red tape” immigrants have to face in order to officially become citizens they have to pass a test. These tests are typically 100 questions long and deal mainly with American History and Government, but can include other questions as well.

So the question is- Do you have what it takes to become a citizen? Do you deserve to be here?

Prove it. Go to msnbc’s website and take the test.

These are examples of some other questions which could have been on the test.
