Why do you think new immigrants to the US are required to take a test before they can become US citizens?
The US Citizenship test is primarily to test the applicant's knowledge regarding the Country's ancient history, constitution and its Government. Since English is the common language in the US, this also tests the fluency of the applicants to speak,read and write basic English. Immigrants who want to become US citizens should be well aware of the country's history and should not have any difficulty in speaking the native language. In this aspect, the citizenship test is compulsory.

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.
What are some reasons someone would become a US citizen?
