It is this look from the outside which allows us to constantly have a re-look at ourselves. The best reason for immigration I can think of.

I don't know the answer because I'm too close to myself as a citizen.

Thank you for asking the question.

You are welcome. One of the ways how we improve ourselves is being questioned by others. On different (but related subject) you should take a look at this: http://usgovinfo.about.com/blinstst.htm

It is the list of questions required for U.S. citizenship test. It might be little bit outdated but it will give you an idea. I believe that majority of U.S. citizens would flunk the test. My g/f (smart and born and raised American) didn't know the answers to approx 1/3 of the questions.
