John Lennon's Deportation Fight Paved Way For Obama's Deferred Action Policy
Back in 1972, John Lennon hired Leon Wildes, an immigration attorney who had no idea who he was.
Wildes' son, Michael, remembers his father coming home to tell his mother about their first meeting.
"And he said, 'A singer by the name of Jack Lemon and his wife Yoko Moto,' " Michael recalls. "My mom looked at him like he wasn't well. 'Are you talking about the Beatles and John Lennon?' My father said, 'Yeah!' "
Over the next five years, Lennon and Ono were often caught on camera outside immigration court in New York City — as well as on late-night talk shows such as NBC's The Tomorrow Show With Tom Snyder.
