Happy Birthday San Jose! Today we are going to celebrate the Double Birthday of San Jose, California.
Today we are going to listen to eight questions from the USCIS 100 questions plus 2 extra credit questions. There is so much to say about San Jose, that I could have asked many more questions, but ten questions in total is just enough. Remember you only have to get 6 out of 10 questions correct to pass the citizenship exam along with the questions from you N-400 plus reading and writing one sentence.
Today when I ask the questions, there will be no answers--you will have to answer the questions yourself. Check your copy of the USCIS questions to make sure that you are correct. Let's get get stated.

VOANews: US Retailers Gear Up for Holiday Shopping Season
The holiday season is once again upon us. That means retailers and shopping malls around the world are busy with the final decorating touches for the start of the all-important holiday shopping season. In the United States, that's usually the Friday after Thanksgiving. Retailers call the start of the holiday shopping season "Black Friday". That's because, for many retailers, it marks the day they finally move from the red (as in losses) and into the black as in profits. Mil Arcega has more.

Some Suggest Need to Change US 'Birthright Citizenship'
VOANews: Some Suggest Need to Change US 'Birthright Citizenship'
The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil. That fact has led to a practice commonly known as “birth tourism,” in which pregnant women from many countries come to the United States to give birth, so their children will be U.S. citizens. The issue has come up in this year’s presidential campaign, and some are suggesting the U.S. needs to change the 14th Amendment. Yang Chen has more from Washington.
