Citizenship to dead people!

[Lazerthegreat]

Hi Guys! This is hilarious. US immigration has awarded posthumous citizenship to dead people who fought for america.

My question is that instead of doing this drama, Why not give citizenship to their families who are still alive and can benefit from that.

I dont find it amusing at all. It's the right thing to do but INS/BCIS/USCIS was not able to do it on their own until the Posthumous Citizenship Restoration Act of 2002 became law in 2002. And I believe their surviving families (and possibly the decendents too) will now benefit from the Posthumous Citizenship Restoration Act. But I dont think all the survviving families and their decendents will choose to immigrate to the US since Ireland and the UK are economically and politically stable countries. Also, I don't think they will get instant citizenship but instead will have to go through the I-485 application first and then naturalization process.
My personal opinion is that the surviving families of these fallen soldiers deserve it more than LIFE Act and DREAM Act (not yet become law) benefectors.
