Instant Karma

As if John Lennon wasn't awesome enough already, via Sully we see he also helped change US immigration laws:

But key to Wildes' argument were documents he found proving the government had overlooked deportation cases. Wildes presented 1,800 files showing the government had quietly granted a form of deferred action. Wildes used the records in court on behalf of Lennon, the first time such an argument was made. They won the case in an appeals court in 1975.

"[John] asked me personally, 'Not everybody can afford lawyers like you. Can we publicize this so everybody eligible can try to get it?' And that's what I've been trying to do ever since," Wildes said. This idea helps form the foundation for the present day deferred action program.

Of course, thanks to his staying in the US he got shot, so. Sigh.
