Immigration
Political asylum is defined as, "protection given by one country to refugees from another" (Prentice Hall America, Pathways to the Present, p 1009). Political asylum is a phrase that was most often than not accompanied by dread, gloom and suffering. These situations associated with troubles and hardships. This was a person's freedom being taken away just because of where they lived. This was wrong.

As "Prague's Spring", which was a democracy being established in a communist ruled Czechoslovakia, began to form, the Russians were quite unhappy with this and consequently invaded the country and crushed their democracy.
