Zwick, Director Office of Management Programs Civil Division U.S. Department of Justice Main Building, Room 3140 950 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, DC 20530 Sent via email: victimcomp.comments@usdoj.gov 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.
