terrorist attach and 9/11 compensation

Hello, I am an ordinary citizen from Canton, Ohio, in the center middle America. I am outraged that even illegal aliens are being compensated for the September 11 attacks, and our own citizens who have been in a committed relationship are not!
Any relationship is worthy of compensation if illegal aliens can be compensated. These people are not even citizens, and our own citizens are being ignored.
The worst part is the justification used to make this decision. Illegal aliens will not be prosecuted or sent back if they come forward. This is obviously against the law, but to do that and then turn around use the law (does your state have benefits for committed couple relationships? If not, then that victim does not qualify for benefits!) That I feel is totally wrong!
Furthermore, even if the victims had no spouse or children, certainly the relatives or friends of the victims who may be in their will, are deserving of the benefits allowed to the married couples. Is one human life worth more than another? I ask you where is the fairness in this? Please reconsider your decisions.
