Safe Haven in America: Battles to Open the Golden Door
By Michael Wildes
“As the cases in this book show, Michael Wildes continues the struggle—in courtrooms, in the halls of government, and in front of the cameras, fighting for the values to which I hope our country will always remain true.”
—Alan Dershowitz, Harvard Law professor and author of Taking the Stand: My Life in the Law
America’s “broken” immigration system has become a cliche of national politics – made only worse by decades of political gridlock. Written with the benefit of almost a quarter-century in the field, Safe Haven in America: Battles to Open the Golden Door attempts to present the human face of this problem, covering cases that are as fascinating as they are controversial.

Safe Haven in America: Battles to Open the Golden Door draws on nearly a quarter of a century of the author's practice in the immigration field. The cases presented, however, don't merely involve legal principles, but the human aspects of coming to America – the happiness of a family and children, the results of fighting criminality and corruption, the hopes of safely expressing political, religious, or social beliefs . . . and sometimes, the very stark difference between life and death.
The fact that there are so many points of contention suggests that our immigration system is broken. State governments and future administrations have to be aware that there is significant collateral damage from political gridlock. Safe Haven in America: Battles to Open the Golden Door takes a look at immigrations cases that are a part of the immigartion question.
Most of these stories are people trying to stay in the U.S. under humanitarian grounds, with the federal bureaucracy trying to depart them by enforcing the regulations to the letter and ignoring their pleas.
