By Shah Peerally, Esq.
As an Immigration lawyer, I have been practicing law for more than 10 years and have tackled a fair share of “interesting” cases. In my career, have handled thousands of cases, and while each case is different, I have also witnessed a disparate treatment of different immigrants despite they bear similar facts. The treatment is often related to people of different countries and different culture. In my opinion, if someone originates from the Middle East or South Asia (especially Pakistan and Afghanistan), it seems that their cases are subject to a stricter scrutiny.
After the sad events of September 11, 2001, things have actually changed in the United States. In fact, it has changed so much over the years that even the defunct Immigration and Nationality Services had been absorbed under the Department of Homeland Security.
From the start The Immigration Lawyer: Asylum made an impression, weaving a complicated tale of a fight for a better future and a fight for equality. The novel manages to hook you with a very present political and social hotbed issue of immigration, presenting a truly fascinating glimpse into immigration law and what many immigration lawyers have to go up against every day to help their clients get the chance at a better life.
The novel has a heartfelt and emotion rich subject that explores the uphill battle lawyers face as they try to breakdown the walls of injustice and inequality, bringing hope to those who come to America for asylum, immigration and more. Mr. Peerally really captures the intricate web of laws, rules and regulations as well as the tireless hoops that lawyers must jump through to traverse the immigration system. The novel doesn't shy away from the brutal truth, highlighting the problems that are all too often found in this system from prejudice to corruption and everything in between.
This is an engaging novel that runs the gamut of emotions and offers readers a look at the immigration system and just how people like Ahmad suffer simply for who they are and their wish to come to this country for a brighter future.

I bought this book after doing some research on the harassment of immigrants to America following the events of September 11th. I bought this book with a few things in mind. The most important probably being that I wanted to read something controversial that may, in some way, enlighten me to a different point of view. This book did just that. It was executed tastefully and written well. The book is about a lawyer named Sarah who specifically fights for the rights of immigrants. I suppose in a few ways business mixes with pleasure- for she is married to a Muslim immigrant. So naturally her heart knows the people she is fighting for- she knows their rights- and she knows they deserve equal treatment.
