FIALLO V. BELL
430 U.S. 787 (1977)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952.
FACTS: The Act gave special preference to aliens who qualify as children or parents of
United States citizens or lawful permanent residents. Appellants (A) are three sets of unwed
natural fathers and their illegitimate offspring who sought, either as an alien father or an
alien child, a special immigration preference by virtue of a relationship to a citizen or
resident alien child or parent. The Act excluded illegitimates from that special status. A
claimed that this was unconstitutional under the First, Fifth and Ninth Amendments; they
were denied equal protection, due process of law by the conclusive presumption of the
absence of a strong psychological and economic tie between the fathers and their
illegitimate offspring and strongly interfered with their rights of association.
