After the last American left Saigon and 155,000 Vietnamese who left with them were resettled in the United States, Americans just wanted the Vietnam War put behind them. Many Vietnamese who stayed behind could not, and they continued their struggle of staying alive, now under new terms. Starving, their crops and catches collectivized by the new Socialist Republic of Vietnam, over 1.5 million people fled with their families in small fishing boats. But they sailed into an indifferent world. No country wanted them, most notably the United States. Faced with a growing, unwelcome population, the countries of first refuge along the periphery of the South China Sea forced the overcrowded refugee boats back onto the open ocean. Hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese perished. On a Sunday morning in Thailand, Mike Harpold was on assignment at refugee camps in Southeast Asia to prepare a report for a congressional hearing on the boat people. Alerted by a doctor with Médecins Sans Frontières, Harpold rushed to the aid of thirty-four Vietnamese men, women, and children whose disabled boat was about to be towed out to sea by the Thai Navy and cast adrift - certain death for all aboard. He had ten minutes to come up with a way to save them. What Harpold did next forced a change in US policy, encouraged Americans to once again look into their soul, and demonstrated how one person with integrity and courage can make the difference in the lives of thousands. For a tale to restore your faith in humanity and America, this is a must-read. -- Terry Pyles
From the Alien Friends Act to the Cold War and the War on Terror, the US has used ideological exclusions and deportations to suppress freedom of speech and association of foreigners depicted as threatening to national security.

In this novel approach to law and literature, Robert Barsky delves into the canon of so-called Great Books, and discovers that many beloved characters therein encounter obstacles similar to those faced by contemporary refugees and undocumented persons. The struggles of Odysseus, Moses, Aeneas, Dante, Satan, Dracula and Alice in Wonderland, among many others, provide surprising insights into current discussions about those who have left untenable situations in their home countries in search of legal protection. Law students, lawyers, social scientists, literary scholars and general readers who are interested in learning about international refugee law and immigration regulations in home and host countries will find herein a plethora of details about border crossings, including those undertaken to flee pandemics, civil unrest, racism, intolerance, war, forced marriage, or limited opportunities in their home countries.
This book explores the often neglected, but overwhelmingly common, everyday vulnerability of those who support the smooth functioning of contemporary societies: paid domestic workers. With a focus on the multiple disadvantages these - often migrant - workers face when working and living in Europe, the book investigates the role of law in producing, reinforcing - or, alternatively, attenuating - vulnerability to exploitation. It departs from approaches that focus on extreme abuse such as 'modern' slavery or trafficking, to consider the much more widespread day-to-day vulnerabilities created at the intersection of different legal regimes. The book, therefore, examines issues such as low wages, unregulated working time, dismissals and the impact of migration status on enforcing rights at work. The complex legal regimes regulating migrant domestic labour in Europe include migration and labour law sources at different levels: international, national and, as this book demonstrates, also EU. With an innovative lens that combines national, comparative, and multilevel analysis, this book opens up space for transformative legal change for migrant domestic workers in Europe and beyond.
Has your immediate relative petitioned you to come to the United States and then passed away suddenly and your I-130 has been denied due to the death of your immediate relative? The best option for you would be the Humanitarian Reinstatement which makes it possible for you to have the I-130 reinstated so you don't have to start the immigration process all over again. Assuming you and the Substitute Sponsor will experience hardship if your I-130 is not reinstated, and the hardship is documented, the Humanitarian Reinstatement will have the best chance for approval. It includes all relevant cover letters, forms, exhibits, and supporting evidence. It has been prepared by an expert Immigration attorney. Thus this book will allow you to see a guide of how it's done, prepared and submitted.If the Humanitarian Reinstatement is approved, then you will not lose the priority date and will not have to wait many more years to get a current visa date from another petition. Additionally, if the Humanitarian Reinstatement is approved, then the beneficiaries of the approved petition will also be able to immigrate to the U.S. It is the best way to proceed if a petitioner has died.The bottom line for the Humanitarian Reinstatement is that the officer has to be convinced to actually reinstate the I-130 petition. This is much more than simply getting a substitute sponsor. Rather, it would be preparing evidence through legal argument that the beneficiary deserves the Humanitarian Reinstatement to be approved and that the petition should proceed forward so that the beneficiary can immigrate along with his or her dependents. It does take around one year to get the answer on the Humanitarian Reinstatement so you must be patient. Do not go to the interview thinking the Consulate Officer will not know that the petitioner has died.It does take time for U.S. Immigration to adjudicate the petition for the Humanitarian Reinstatement, but it is a lot better than starting over. Some people think they can still go to their interview and everything will proceed, but that is not the case. In fact, once the petitioner dies, so does the petition - unless the Humanitarian Reinstatement is approved.The cover letter here was prepared by a qualified and expert immigration attorney in the U.S. who has been practicing immigration law for nearly 30 years. It is the next best thing to having an attorney do the Humanitarian Reinstatement Application without having to pay an attorney. Take advantage of this petition and show everything you can to try to get approved. Do not get lulled into the false belief that it is easy to get a Humanitarian Reinstatement. The officer must be convinced.This particular sample is an actual Humanitarian Reinstatement Application where it is filed inside the U.S. with all of the various examples and supporting evidence. It assumes that the beneficiary was outside the United States when the petitioner died and is still outside the United States. Of course, it assumes the petitioner has died. Note that our library includes not only this Humanitarian Reinstatement application, but also multiple types of work-permits such as the H-1B Specialty Occupation Visa Petition, the O-1 Extraordinary Alien Petition, PERM examples, I-140 Applications and many more. If you enjoy this F-1 Reinstatement Petition and it makes your life easier, then come back and try the other immigration applications and petitions.Either way, we certainly hope you find this petition useful and helpful and hope for the best immigration experience you can have. We do have petitions on every subject area of immigration, and you might look at those if needed as well. If you do need to actually have a consultation, you can call our U.S. Immigration Law office at 562-495-0554 for an initial free consultation to determine what must be done to help you and your family.

Der Kampf gegen den internationalen Terrorismus ist seit über fünfzehn Jahren ein zentraler Fokus der europäischen Sicherheitspolitik. Dabei stellt sich jedoch die Frage, ob die Vielzahl an Sicherheitsmaßnahmen und -gesetzen, die auf verschiedenen politischen Ebenen verabschiedet wurden, den Standards der Effektivität und Verhältnismäßigkeit gerecht werden. Dieser Band bietet eine entsprechende kritische Bestandsaufnahme. Raphael Bossong gibt einen Überblick zu den strategischen Trends der EU-Antiterrorismuspolitik seit 2015, während Oldrich Bures die europäischen Maßnahmen zur Kontrolle sog. ausländischer Kämpfer evaluiert. Martin Kahl entwickelt eine grundsätzliche Kritik der Effektivität der EU-Terrorismusbekämpfung. Tim Krieger und Daniel Meierrieks kondensieren die wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Debatte zur Kosten- und Folgeabschätzung des Terrorismus. Anja Jacobi und Janina Kandt analysieren die transnationale Governance zur Eindämmung der Terrorismusfinanzierung. Mit Beiträgen vonDr. Raphael Bossong, Prof. Oldrich Bures, Dr. Martin Kahl, Prof. Tim Krieger, Dr. Daniel Meierrieks, Prof. Anja Jacobi, Janina Kandt
