They actually mobilize their own clients. And what comes of it? Litigation to require social security disability to be paid to alcoholics. suits to make the New York City Transit Authority hire former heroin addicts. and absurdities like the suit that compelled New York to pay State welfare benefits to illegal aliens. There was even the case of an LSC attorney seeking to have taxpayers foot the bill for a welfare recipients sex change operation. In my home State of Texas. lawyers funded by the Legal Services Corporation have been representing illegal aliens although such activity has been a violation of Federal law for 2 years. In one case a LSC attorney even went to a deportation station and solicited illegal aliens to become her clients. Clearly. this is not what Congress envisioned when it created the Legal Services Corporation. My other concern is with LSCsponsored litigation itself.
