Well-Founded Fear The Congressional Battle to Save Political Asylum in America

In 1996, powerful anti-immigrant forces in New Gingrich's 104th Congress worked hard to pass the most restrictive immigration law in decades. This law changed virtually every aspect of immigration policy, including the rules for political and religious refugees. It is not, however, as harsh a law as the chairmen of the committees wanted. A fascinating case study of the legislative process and the author's experience as a public lobbyist, A Well-Founded Fear tells how a coalition of human rights and refugee organisations fought to preserve the rights of refugees and asylum seekers.Schrag, Philip G. is the author of 'Well-Founded Fear The Congressional Battle to Save Political Asylum in America', published 2000 under ISBN 9780415921572 and ISBN 0415921570.
