In the Scott case. a native of Jamaica contracted a proxy marriage to a U.S. citizen solely for the purpose of entry into this country. The court found that she never lived with her husband and never intended to do so. She entered the United States in 1958 and thereafter gave birth to an illegitimate child. who became a citizen of the United States at birth. In both cases. the immigrant was saved from deportation because of having the necessary familial relationship to a U.S. citizen. This would also have been the case if the familial relationship was to a lawful permanent resident. The court. at page 220. stated: The intent of the Act IP.L. 85316.
