A Green Card for a 9/11 Victim

Michelle Malkin has a column in today's New York Post that illustrates just how out-of-date, and out-of-touch, some federal agencies can be. We all recall that immigration officials notified two of the 9/11 hijackers that their visa applications had been approved -- six months after 9/11.

Now, that same agency has notified Eugueni Kniazev of Brooklyn that he is "deemed to be a lawful permanent resident of the United States." But there's a problem: as an employee of Windows on the World on the 107th floor of the North Tower of the WTC, he was killed on 9/11.

I can add only one comment to Michelle's story, which deserves wide distribution (see more information at her web site): given the magnitude of such mistakes, and the absence of measures to prevent them from reoccurring, why would anyone wish to grant even more power to regulate our lives to any branch of the federal government?
