All the predators, murderers and rapists need to do is join myspace, yahoo personals or match. Then this portion of the law doesn't apply.

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

I read the article and conspiracy theory or ignorance comes out when reading it.. some quotes are ..

"— Any arrest or conviction for "similar activity in violation of Federal, State or local criminal law" without specifying what "similar" means."

IMBRA does specifically state the convictions.

"— Any arrest or conviction related to controlled substances, alcohol or prostitution, making no distinction on arrests not leading to conviction;"

Yes it does it says arrest or conviction.. so arrest without conviction is an arrest..

"U.S. law will provide foreign women with extensive government information on American suitors that is not similarly offered to American women — which it shouldn't it be either."

Extensive? Their criminal history, marriage history, how many kids they have.. I don't find that extensive..

a US citizen can request criminal history on an individual any time.

The Original Poster has lost total credibility in this forum due to misleading references to "articles" and the involved authors of said "articles" most of which have been posted multiple times.

I'll say it again, this forum is intended for people that are struggling to be reunited with their loved ones and not intended for uneducated trolls to spew misinformation.

i suppose it depends on what one counts as a highly respected feminist writer.

from the article:

Wendy McElroy is the editor of ifeminists.com and a research fellow for The Independent Institute in Oakland, Calif. She is the author and editor of many books and articles, including the new book, "Liberty for Women: Freedom and Feminism in the 21st Century" (Ivan R. Dee/Independent Institute, 2002). She lives with her husband in Canada.

It comes down to the article not her.. There are many respectible writers out there... but I research everything I read because I don't want to be the one spouting out false truths.. The thing that confuses me is I think a feminist would like this act... but that is just me.. I couldn't really answer I am not a feminist.. either way .. the article mis-quotes the actual act.. and misrepresents it.. I can almost 99% guarantee you that once all our apps making it through the process and everything is "Business as usual" no one will complain about the act except for people that commited the heinous crimes this act tries to help foreign women from...

I know we are all going through this together. It may not be as important to many people, but one key fact is always left out. The multiple petitions portion. This had no place in this act at all. Protecting women with an act to reveal your background is one thing, but punishing people over the past that may not have been in their control or was actually the responsible thing to do is just killing me. Needing a waiver (that NOONE can explain or clarify what the criteria is) is crazy. If someone has an approval, and they realize it is a mistake, isnt the mature thing to do end it..then maybe you will find someone you want to spend your life with. Why does that deserve punishment? Why would someone be punished if their fiancee decided he/she couldnt give up EVERYTHING to come to someplace he/she knows nothing about????

Sorry, just these articles are incomplete and leave out many innocent victims of this rediculous legislation
