Graham v. Richardson. 403 U.S. 365 (1971). This question is not crucial to analysis of H.R. 3517. since the bills restrictions on relative petitions apply to citizen petitioners as well as to lawful permanent resident petitioners. 2(c)(2) is no constitutional right to immigration benefits. It is worth noting that the Supreme Court has upheld a federal law which imposes residency requirements on aliens. Specifically. the Statute mandated that an alien could not become eligible for a federal medical insurance program unless he had five years continuous residence in the United States. and had been admitted as a lawful permanent resident.
