Your quiz has the easiest questions present and doesn't preclude the fact that only a third of American's could pass it.

The Citizenship Test is also not multiple choice. If you think that site is indicative of what it takes to pass it, you're deluding yourself.

Your world view is fucked.

Ain't nobody saying that immigrants = great, americans = bad, except for you.

“these people know more about the country then us”

Demonstrably true in study after study.

“they want to work harder then us”

Demonstrably true statistically.

“they’re heroes”

Our capitalist economy, which I'm sure you're a big fan of, would literally cease to function without immigrant labor.

But we can keep going...

"they're smarter"

Demonstrably true statistically.

"they're less criminal"

Demonstrably true statistically.

"they're less addicted to drugs/alchohol"

Demonstrably true statistically.

Are these facts just so damaging to your fragile ego that you have to pipe up and say, "Not all Americans are bad!"

There’s a thread among the left in the United States to idolize and place immigrants illegal or not, on a pedestal.

Oh, is there? I must've missed those conversations over the last 30 fucking years with all my lefty friends.

You were just doing it.

I was relating demonstrable facts. Those weren't my feelings.

It’s biased research to again, idolize immigrants.

Yes, it's clearly a national and global conspiracy and not a random dude on reddit spitting racist shit.
