Legal Challenges
Fiallo v. Bell (1977)This Supreme Court case challenged parts of the Immigration and Nationality Act that treated mothers and fathers differently in family based immigration preferences. The court upheld the law, ruling that Congress has broad power over immigration policy. This case shows how the Act shaped later debates about fairness, gender equality, and constitutional limits in immigration law.
