Democratic candidate Barack Obama announced Sen. Joe Biden as his vice presidential pick. We can thank Sen. Biden for all the broken families, FALSELY ACCUSED AMERICANS, heartbroken dads, and kids in single-parent homes caused by the Violence Against Women Act. This is a wake up call! Fix VAWA now!

Immigration Reform Information
There is a proven method to almost guarantee that a self petition as an abused spouse of a US citizen will be granted. American men and women are registered in Federal files as "abusers", "resident abusers",etc. The one sided system of immigration justice in favor of the accusers/foreign born spouses has to stop and our names should be purged from this abuser data base. This is one of the goals Voice of American Immigration Fraud Victims is fighting for!
"One would be hard pressed to design a procedure more likely to result in erroneous deprivations. Secrecy is not congenial to truth seeking. No better instrument has been devised for arriving at the truth than to give a person in jeopardy of serious loss notice of the case against him and the opportunity to meet it."
Are these the words of an advocate for an American Citizen spouse that is trying to fight for the right to defend himself to the US government against false allegations of abuse by his foreign national spouse? NO! These words were spoken by Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter in Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee Committee v. McGrath (1951).
These words are also used by the American Civil Liberties Union in their Sign-on Letter to the House on the Secret Evidence Repeal Act in May of 2000. This letter was sent in response to the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRAIRA) and the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA). They question whether or not these immigration laws infringe upon due process rights of immigrants.
Specifically, they challenged the creation of a "Star Chamber" court in which the government seeks to deport aliens based on secret evidence submitted in the form of classified information. This letter also quotes the following ruling: On October 20, 1999, a federal district court in New Jersey joined the 9th Circuit and the Federal District Court in Washington, D.C. in ruling that the use of secret evidence violates a non-citizen's due process rights: "The government's reliance on secret evidence violates the due process protections that the Constitution directs must be extended to all person within the United States, citizens and resident aliens alike. The INS procedures patently failed the ... test of constitutional sufficiency." Kiareldeen v. Reno. H.R. 1266, The Secret Evidence Repeal Act of 2001 was introduced in March of 2001, yet it never became law. We believe that if the fundamental individual freedoms and due process rights of immigrants are a concern of the US government, then so should the freedoms and rights of a US citizen that is falsely accused of abuse.
