Since that time. she has worked selflessly to ensure that the family members of victims of 9/11 are cared for. Nearly 6 years after the 9/11 attacks. Debra Brown Steinberg is still fighting for the families of victims of the terrorist attacksspecifically immigrants without legal status in the United States who. after facing the traumatic loss of a family member on 9/11. now face potential deportation. As our Nation continues to mourn the loss of friends and family members who died in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Ms. Steinberg has set an example for all of us by helping families that have suffered greatly. Her selfless and persistent efforts have given these immigrant families hope that one day they will be able to grieve freely. In addition to her work representing these immigrant families through the 9/11 Compensation Fund process. she has helped to draft the September 11 Family Humanitarian Relief and Patriotism Act. S. 615. which I introduced with Senator LAUTENBERG on February 15. 2007. This legislation would help immigrants whose family members were killed in the attacks heal from the tragedy as our Nation continues to do the same. Our tradition teaches us to have compassion for the widow. the orphan. and the stranger among us. Ms. Steinbergs action representing the families of immigrant victims of 9/11 exemplifies such compassion. We have much to learn from Debra Steinberg. and I am proud to honor her achievements before my colleagues in the Senate.*
