History
Founded in 2008 by Frank Sherry, America’s Voice is a pro-immigration reform group based in the USA. Frank Sherry has “helped win relief for Central American and Haitian refugees, protected family reunification, and promoted a comprehensive overhaul of the nation’s immigration system that would simultaneously reduce illegal immigration through smart enforcement, provide a path to legal status and citizenship to undocumented immigrants in the U.S., and reform the legal immigration system.”

Analysis / Bias
In review, America’s Voice advocates for immigrants and liberal reform to the immigration system. For example, they advocate for amnesty such as this The Memo: Trump’s immigration hawks grapple with new court blow. When reporting on the Trump Administration, there is loaded wording such as this: Trump’s Normalizing of Corruption and Lawlessness Continues at the Border. This story is properly sourced to both the left-leaning Washington Post and the right-leaning Wall Street Journal. A thorough overview of dozens of articles indicates that story selection almost always favors the left. In general, America’s Voice is factual and well-sourced with a left-leaning mission of easier immigration and protection for refugees.
