Monday, March 18, 2002 4:57 PM 2nd class citizenship As a taxpaying American, I find it terribly disappointing that our own nation would label second class citizenship on its own people. How is it just or even logical that the unborn fetuses (which our own government sanctions the abortion of) and illegal aliens qualify for compensation benefits of greater value than taxpaying men and women, whose only difference is that they are of a different sexual orientation? Where is the sense in such discrimination? To say that the government will not go against state policies - but yet will turn a blind eye in other situations. Don't all states have laws about illegal aliens working and living without proper authority? I feel that it is appropriate to allow these considerations for the children yet to be born and those working here without green cards. They have suffered too...and their pain is just as real. I also think that if a person has a domestic partner with whom they shared a life and sadly loss a great deal through such tragedy - that they should be treated with the same dignity and respect of any other who has suffered. The government is for ALL the people, not just those that Conservatives would like to validate as equal citizens versus "special interest groups." All the victims of September 11th should be honored and their loved ones be cared for equally - not based on what the law says. We the people, or should it now read, "We, the self-righteous and those, who we do not value..."
