VOA and the New USCIS Fee Increase

I use Voice of America (VOA) frequently in my Senior (multi-level) ESL class.  My advanced students are devoted listeners and always share the latest news with the other students.  Here is the VOA story on the USCIS fee increase: Advocates Debate Rise in Fees for US Residency, Citizenship http://www.voanews.com/english/2007-05-30-voa19.cfm (audio) http://www.voanews.com/english/2007-05-30-voa59.cfm (video) I plan to keep my eye on the VOA page at ManyThings.org. Hopefully they will follow-up with an activity on this story. See uscitizenpod.blogspot.com for further comments about explaining the fee increase to a ESL1 class.
