Host Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson and her guests debate a much anticipated change to an outdated German law that would allow Americans and other non-EU nationals who live in Germany to keep their original citizenship if they choose to become Germans. But will the updated law lessen the hurdles to German citizenship?


This week’s guests are:


Immigration lawyer Julie Schaefer, whose practice is in Dusseldorf;


20 Percent Berlin co-founder Andrew Bulkeley


Business and international relations journalist Ekrem Ekici 


Also featuring Peter Wägemann, Claudia Tessier and Elyzabeth Simpson.
