I heard something about the possibility of illegal aliens' families, including those who have multiple wives, getting WTC benefits. Has anyone heard about this?

I heard that several mistresses applied because they depended on their support for someone who was lost in the towers and the awards are not making any judgement about the relationship or the legality - just neccesity.
I don't begrudge anyone a grant - dead is dead and they won't be back. It is just a shame everyone left without a family provider is not as well taken care of. It is a shame they are only taken care of because of the sensational nature of this one event. If such attacks become as common as in Isreal will people continue to be so generous?

I have a problem with this whole payoff thing. At best, IMHO, those with no insurance might get something. At worst, did those donating know that illegal aliens would get some money? And what kind of precedent does this set, and what about the Oklahoma victims and others? I believe we had this discussion before but the alien factor is just not right.
