I wish there were a simple way to explain who these aliens are. but there isnt. and really. that is part of the problem. The term PRUCOL basically refers to aliens who are known or should be known to the Government. but whom the Government has not moved to deport. Some have estimated this would make over 2 million illegal aliens eligible for LSC benefits. No one can tell you exactly who is covered. because the courts have not reached any agreement on that question. and it is not defined in existing immigration statutes or in this bill. The bill would make all PRUCOL aliens. whether here legally or illegally. temporarily or permanently. eligible for LSC benefits. Without this amendment. the language in the bill would be a vague standard and would. in the end. simply create more litigation to determine exactly who is eligible for LSC benefits.
