In addition. even constitutional rights of citizens must yield where they clash with the paramount power of Congress over the admission and exclusion of aliens. Kleindienst v. Mandel. supra at 762. held that the power of Congress to deny admission to what it considers to be undesirable aliens prevails over a citizens First Amendment right to "receive information and ideas." Fiallo v. Bell. supra comes even closer to the issue here involved. In that case fathers of illegitimate children claimed that the provisions of the Act pursuant to which they were precluded from obtaining the entry of their illegitimate children as immediate relatives under �201(a) of the Act. while mothers were permitted to do so. constituted an unjustifiable discrimination based on the sex of the citizen parent.
