if they feel so guilty about having the money then maybe they should just donate it to a charity, maybe even in the name of their loved one that they lost.

I've heard the "Save the airlines from litigation" rationale before - and don't accept that..
Our Government wanted to DO SOMETHING gallant to offset the obvious Carter/Clinton/Bush failures that emboldened and led to the attacks of 9/11.
If our government wanted to do something REALLY significant - they could have frozen ALL the assets of Saudi Arabia, Iran, etc, etc.... at made all the payments from THOSE funds..
Let the Islamic governments that birthed and suckled the sonsuvbitches pay compensation to the "families"....
This is just another case of where the U.S. has lost it's balls and will to deal swiftly and sternly with our enemies..
They already hate us, so no down side to treating them like the assholes they've become..
I don't care if they continue to hate us, I would me more satisfied if they feared us a WHOLE lot more...
They are fighting THEIR war to the maximum of their goat humping ability - we're not...
We are still attempting to be politically correct and avoid getting the U.N. or the world upset with the deaths of millions that would result from a real war...
The U.N.'s goal appears to be protection of our enemies - until they have the ability to make it OUR millions that are slaughtered by the Islamonazis.
There are now TWO Nation States who willingly identify themselves by threats and action as our enemy..
There is no longer any justification for refusing to deliver massive destructive "messages" to Syria and Iran -- before they have the capability to move first against us...

If they and their relatives were not here illegally then they would still be alive today. How do you know that, Miss Cleo? They could have been still ben working in the WTC on 9/11 if they had been legal.
It's ridiculous comments like that show you don't think and using your "logic" if the bond traders in the WTC had been illegal, does that mean they wouldn't have been working there on 9/11.

The burning question. Why the heck don't they simply return to their home country.

I believe the death penalty for a soldier is $250,000
That is hardly nothing.

You're right, Dane. It doesn't matter whether or not their loved ones were here legally or illegally. If they weren't cleaning toilets at the WTC they would have been cleaning them somewhere else and would have lived.
There is always the alternative view: it's a few less illegals in our country.
To: Mad_Tom_Rackham
I'm still trying to figure out why these particular victims received any federal payments. Well, I couldn't figure out why four surviving widows were essentially running the Congress for a time. Maybe they still are.

There is nothing ridiculous about cleos statement. If the illegals hadn't been here they wouldn't have been killed on 9/11. They would not have been here legally, if they could have been they would have been here legally, they chose to sneak into this country, breaking our laws and they paid for it with their lives.
You are so pro-illegal you can't even use common sense when you discuss the subject.

Ironic that the government will compensate someone for dying during a commission of a crime.
To: OldFriend
$250,000?? I've never heard that. I've heard figures like $25,000. We've adopted three soldiers and/or Marines thus far who have been KIA and I've haven't heard of any sums that size. Maybe the families were doing something wrong - or it wasn't necessary for me to help them with the costs.

But because they do not have Social Security numbers or work visas, they cannot get mortgages or drivers licenses.
So pay cash for a house and hire you a driver...

If you go to google you will see that the Bush administration has recommended doubling the death benefit for soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan to $500,000
Don't know if congress has passed this legislation but I'm pretty sure the $250,000 has been in effect for a while.

Thanks for the info. That is certainly something deserved and costs us a lot less than paying off illegals whose family members died in 9/11.
