I think that Congress ought to grant them legal status.

After five years of these Widows doing nothing, outside of collecting thier millions, I think it's a little too late for that. It would of been a nice geture around Nov 2001.

I had a Co. Commander in boot camp who told me where I could find sympathy.

If the progressives spent as much time defending the US as they do defining new classes of victims then army recruitment would be at 1000% of goal.

I can certainly empathize with the victims of 9-11, but I'm not about to grant them hero status simply because they or their loved ones were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I don't mean to sound non-caring because I do care but why are we giving them money to begin with. We did nothing wrong and did not cause these peoples death. I'm not minimizing the horrible thing that happened but isn't this what SS and charity is for?

They weren't too scared to come forward and claim the millions.

But why come back? If they came here for economic opportunity, however inadvertently or tragically, they have achieved significant wealth. So why not go back to Wherever and live like a king/queen?

These people have all the money they need, yet they've stayed. Further proof that illegals are not here because of the money they make. They are here because it's a great place to live.

Yeah, sure. Tell me again how they just come here because they need jobs and money. So give them a million dollars and watch them leave. Yeah, sure.

These millions of tax payer dollars to these illegal aliens must have been devised by New York Sen. Hillary Clinton with the understanding that the ileagals would then donate some of the money to Hillary's Campaign.

I would not be surprised if John Kerry and other Democrats in Congress were also behind this scam.

With that sort of money they could hire a good lawyer and get all the paperwork cleared in a snap.

Yeah but you can't fix stupid.

This could only happen in America!!! What a great country!!! No wonder our "border protection" policies and "immigration" laws are such a huge joke!!! We gave you the first man on the moon, the first "pet rock," and now this. My imagination isn't so wide-ranging as to be able to even come close to predicting what might be next!!! God bless Hillary, Teddy, Dean, Kerry, Pelosi, Soros, Krugman, and the other professional anarchists this great country has to offer!!!! (P.S. Isn't there another country somewhere we might offer them too???)

The NYT again proves that the only thing they know how to do well is to waste paper and ink. (C'mon, Greenpeace, there are trees being lost!!! Pollution being created, and in more ways than one! "Can't ya smell that smell?!")

I'm sure this trio's situation is all Bush's fault.

My wife is a legal immigrant - yeah, we went through all the crap (ok, not all of it is crap, but I wish half the BCIS effort to make sure the the woman I was already married to was "desirable" was expended on UNdesirables.) Not to mention the BCIS fees after fees after fees, while these 3 get millions. I'll bet my (90 lb.) wife would like to kick 'em back home, herself, just for whining.

I'd better stop now before I write something to get myself booted off FR....

WTF did any illegals get compensation from any fund.

Take the money back and expel them.
