Why it is important that immigrants learn and understand this nation's values and laws before becoming citizens?

It is important because they are trying to become American citizens and part of that is agreeing to the laws of this country and knowing the expectations of being a good citizen. They are doing this so that they are no longer immigrants, but citizens who have the same rights and expectations as any other citizen. I don't really think that learning "the nation's values" is important, considering that this country has no values that are legally required or appointed and I doubt that this is actually part of the process of becoming a citizen. What you may be saying here is the expectations of this person as an American, which is important because they will be under the same expectations as everyone else. Basically, the process of becoming a citizen is to help you know what others expect of you here and what is legal for you to do and for others to do to you.

Should immigrants have to learn to speak English before entering the US?
No. United States does not have an official legal language.But there is a basic spoken English and literacy test for people becoming citizens though.If immigrants come to the United States with the intent of doing business and/or becoming citizens, they usually do take the time and make the effort to learn the English language. However, immigrants who enter and/or stay in the United States illegally and take advantage of our lack of law enforcement usually do not bother to learn the language.
