More than 100 of the people killed in the 9/11 attack were undocumented immigrants and many more were legal immigrants. All their families needed special help to recover from the trauma. - - Donna Poisl

We didn't have time to cry," said Joel Magallán, executive director of Asociación Tepeyac, about the months following the 9/11 World Trade Center terrorist attacks.
"It was a very, very intense period, and we only had time to work from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., day in and day out."
Not that Magallán and the mostly Mexican community group did not have plenty to cry about.
After all, it was thanks to their efforts that it was discovered that more than 100 undocumented immigrants - deliverymen, waiters, cleaners, cooks - had been killed at the World Trade Center.

This country was built by immigrants, it will continue to attract and need immigrants. Some people think there are enough people here now -- people have been saying this since the 1700s and it still is not true. They are needed to make up for our aging population and low birthrate. Immigrants often are entrepreneurs, creating jobs. We must help them become Americans and not just people who live here and think of themselves as visitors. When immigrants succeed here, the whole country benefits.
