Illegal Victims of 9-11

There are 14 spouses along with their children of illegal immigrants that were killed at the World Trade Center on 9-11. They were given a temporary one year visa after the terrorist attack, but they want to stay forever.

"The 14 are the spouses or children of workers who were killed when the twin towers fell on Sept. 11, 2001, many of them while on the job at the Windows on the World restaurant. All received payments from the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund ranging from $875,000 to $4.1 million, but because they are in the country illegally, they have lived in fear of being deported. And because they do not have proper identification, it can be difficult to get a driver’s license, a job or a place at school."

If these people have been here for these past 8 years at least, why have they not tried to become a citizen? Why do they want the whole enchilada without going through the proper steps? Read more about it HERE.
