Premise: In short, an examination of the language of the presence requirement and the statutory context in which it arises raises a number of interpretive problems and fails to resolve the question of when an alien must be present in the United States in order to be entitled to legal services representation.

Hypothesis: An examination of the language of the presence requirement didn't solve the question of if the alien has to be present in the US to get legal representation, so the man did not get help until the Supreme Court could hear the case.
Relation: neutral
