Title A name given to the resource Department of Justice Emails Description An account of the resource The Department of Justice received more than 11,000 e-mails in response to the agency's public solicitation for comments upon its plans to distribute the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 established by Congress to benefit the victims of September 11 and their families. These e-mails have been organized here by date. September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Tuesday, January 22, 2002 1:01 PM Comments on Sept. 11 Victims Fund I am afraid I am a contrarian voice regarding compensation for victims of Sept. 11th. My compassion goes out to the victims, but I do not think it is the role of the U.S. government to assume liability. Is the death of someone in the Twin Towers any different from say the child killed in Oakland, California, last week when an illegal alien ploughed into a group of children in a crosswalk? To me both are acts of terrorism resulting from the U.S. government failing to enforce our borders. With regards to compensation for illegal immigrant victims of Sept. 11th I find it offensive to even consider it. Why should I as an American be rewarding - even in their death - lawbreakers? Indeed the term victim is misapplied here as Americans are the victims of the illegal acts of the aliens. Generosity is a noble impulse. But it must be tempered keeping in mind the consequences. I think that zero interest loans based on need are a proper response to legal victims.
