The Mercy Factory: Refugees and the American Asylum System

Rating:
Summary: An excellent examination of social issues and justice
Review: Christopher Einolf's Mercy Factory examines American objections to high levels of immigration and the presence of poor immigrants, contrasting these feelings to the country's tradition of welcoming refugees from persecution. The asylum system is considered here from the stories of five refugees, telling of how they progressed through the American immigration legal system. An excellent examination of social issues and justice.
