Immigration Refelection

After taking this test I realize that the immigrants in this country go through a lot to become legal ciztens in America. The test also brings up a good point if you don’t the country why do you want to come here. Some immigrants probably have made it here and taken the test and failed but that just shows that they really did not know this economy. Personally I found the test to be very easy I passed the test with flying colors of the country that I live in. The test was over 6th grade material of the United States.

The video promise to freedom showed to me that most white people that are against immigration are really full of I love America because Every person except for Native Americans are immigrants. I also can sympathizes with the immigrant white people maybe they fear that the immigrants are going to come in a take over but that is selfishness reasons.
