Our guest on Wednesday, if you can make it, will be Abdi Nor Iftin. I think the best way that I can introduce you to him is to let you be captivated by his story the same way I was when I first heard it.
Please listen to "Abdi and the Golden Ticket" from This American Life. We'll also listen to an update from him on another episode of This American Life:It's Working Out Very Nicely. As you listen please post at least three questions for Mr. Iftin to this form. I will share these questions with Mr. Iftin before his presentation so that he has a better idea of what you would like to know. Your to-do list What do you think life for refugees is like?

Please use the resources below to find eight steps involved with being recognized as a refugee by the United States and/or gaining citizenship.
Goldilocks and entry to the United States
Imagine that you are in the role of Goldilocks and need to evaluate the standards the refugees need to meet to enter the United States and their path to citizenship. Is it too easy, too hard, or just right? Please cite three examples from the policies we have looked at that lead you to your opinion. (Collins, Type 2, 12 points)
