Real Life Fiction of the Undocumented

The testimonial of the first reader: “For someone like myself who has very little knowledge of immigration, Before the Indictment offers a very insightful and in-depth view of the struggles of illegal immigrants entering the United States and the steps they are willing to take to become permanent residents; testing the boundaries a group of lawyers and professionals were willing to go beyond to help them. Ultimately, it provokes the question that perhaps the current immigration system is in need of reform. After all, it was those applications for political asylum that were fake that gained status, while the genuine victims were rejected, suggesting that the current system is not working as intended for the vast majority of applicants. Before the Indictment, in short, is a good book. For a professional reading, you will not be disappointed. For a non-professional, you will find the content to be eye-opening and thought- provoking as the grand scheme develops. Author Lewis Hu does a great job at describing the dilemmas and the hard choices one lawyer makes to help his countrymen while transitioning to a dark path.” – Richard Chow
