The only sad thought about this story is that most native-born Americans wouldn't be able to pass the citizenship test, evident in the number of high school seniors who can't identify the Great Lakes on a map or who can't name the Vice President or can't tell you what the first ten amendments to the US Constitution are, all requirements to pass the citizenship test.
