Thanks to Alice Johnson for the following:

As part of the student loan changes currently being considered by 
     Congress, House and Senate negotiators are wrestling with a plan
that 
     would narrow federal student aid eligibility for LEGAL
immigrants.  
     
     In 1992-93, nearly 400,000 legal immigrants received $662
million in 
     Pell grants.  (This is about 10 percent of the total of Pell 
     recipients.)
     
     Republicans want to change eligibility by including the income
of 
     citizens who sponsor immigrants when determining whether or not
the 
     immigrants can receive student aid.  This would reduce the
number of 
     immigrants who would be considered eligible.
