Helping African Refugees in the Mediterranean

 

VOA News: The Migrant Priest | Helping African Refugees in the Mediterranean | 52 Documentary 

Since 2003, Father Mussie Zerai has received thousands of emergency calls from distressed refugees and migrants stranded in the Mediterranean Sea. The Eritrean priest, head of the refugee rights organization Habeshia, travels to the Italian island of Lampedusa to commemorate October 3, 2013, when a fishing vessel caught fire and sank near the coast, killing 368 people. Leaning on his faith, Father Zerai helps survivors start anew. The 2015 Nobel Peace Prize nominee fields crisis calls as Europe struggles to accommodate the ongoing influx of migrants and refugees desperate to escape war, famine, and persecution.​

What are the requirements to be a US president?

 

VOA News: What are the requirements to be a US president?

Can anybody be president of the United States? 

No. 

The job is open only to those who meet the qualifications spelled out in the U.S. Constitution. 

Requirements: Be at least 35 years old. Have lived within the United States for 14 years. Be a natural-born citizen. 

35 years old: The founders hoped age might bring with it wisdom and maturity. 

The average life span was less than 40 years at the time the Constitution was adopted. 

Residency and citizenship: These requirements were intended to discourage foreign influence. 

Most legal experts believe natural-born citizen applies to a person born in the U.S. or born to parents who are U.S. citizens. 

But the U.S. Supreme Court has never ruled on an official definition of the term.

U.S. Citizenship Lesson 64 | 2024

 

uscitizenpod: A Practice Citizenship Interview for Mrs. Muthurajan

The Muthurajans visited Milpitas Adult School to record a practice interview for the mother.  Here are three more comments about the interview:

NOTE 1: Most examiners would ask if the applicant has any requested any ACCOMMODATIONS or EXEMPTIONS

NOTE 2: USCIS may ask further questions about financial support.  Many retirees have pensions/savings or are supported by their family. Prepare your answer.

NOTE 3: I forgot to ask a very important question about TAXES.  USCIS asks everyone about taxes.  Many retirees do not pay taxes because they don't have an income.  (However some retirees do have income from investments.  Prepare your correct response!)
