This week Ben took his citizenship test. It's been a long journey since he was first brought here by his parents at the age of eight. He talks a little about what that journey has entailed over the last thirty years and about what it was like preparing for and taking the citizenship test. Then Tara tries out some of the questions herself. Finally, they discuss the importance of knowing what it is like for immigrants, the potential pitfalls they can face and why you should not assume someone's status.
