Re: Victims' Compensation Fund Final Rule
Dear Mr. Zwick,
The federal government's decision to give funds to illegal aliens and not to
all American citizens can only be explained by its leadership's
fundamentalism and hate. The decision certainly isn't very American. In
many ways I have been impressed with President Bush's and the country's
response to the terrorist attack. However, this one act of fundamentalism
and hate by our own government in blatant disregard for the lives of
upstanding and even heroric American citizens overshadows anything good that
the country as done since September 11.
I am sad that our government has not risen to the occassion. While I have
faith in most Americans, my faith in her leadership has been put to rest by
this one act of callousness by the fundamentalist regime that was elected to
uphold her ideals. There is no doubt that this rule determining who is
eligible for compensation is motivated by hate. If the Executive branch
truley were worried about upholding the law, it would not ignore all
immigration laws or state laws that might apply.
My only hope is that the country will recognize the value of all her
citizens. If she does, then the current fundamentalist regime will be
limited. We will be lucky if the division and damage done by the current
leadership can be overcome by a more compassionate and just President in
the future.
Respectfully submitted,
Individual Comment
