Few crime victim visas approved under 2000 safety law
The 2000 federal crime victim visa program promised visas to illegal immigrants who assist police investigations. More than 13,000 applied, but only 65 were approved by end of 2008, sparking outrage from immigrant advocates over delayed rules and limited law enforcement endorsements. The program faces high costs, political hurdles, and uneven local support, delaying relief for many victims.
