The Washington Times
Members of Congress from New York have written a bill to grant permanent legal status to illegal aliens whose spouse or parent was killed in the September 11 terrorist attacks.
The bill would apply both to those who were here illegally at the time of the attacks and those here legally as family members of someone with a work or student visa.
Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney, New York Democrat, said that with the four-year observance of the attacks looming, it is time to take care of people who consider themselves in a legal limbo.
