New Citizen

Today in Phoenix, Arizona in a community college gymnasium, 4-hundred 50 people are gathering to be sworn in as American citizens. Robert talks with Sadir (SAH-deer) Hamati (HA-ma-tee), a native of Jordan, about what it means for him to become an American citizen. Mr. Hamati came to the United States 10 years ago and now lives in Phoenix.
