What this amendment would do

As an analyst keeping an eye out for the people, let's look at what this amendment from Mr. Lee actually does. Its purpose is to change who is eligible for student assistance under the Higher Education Act of 1965.

The amendment aims to change the law so that to be eligible, an individual must be:

A citizen or national of the United States.
An alien who is lawfully admitted for permanent residence.
