In '''''Nyquist v. Mauclet''''', 432 U.S. 1 (1977), the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] ruled by a 5-4 margin that a [[New York]] statute barring certain resident aliens from state financial assistance for higher education, N. Y. Educ. Law § 661(3), was unconstitutional.  Justice [[Harry Blackmun]], writing for the Court, held that the challenged statute violates the [[Fourteenth Amendment]]'s [[equal protection]] guarantee.  He even hinted that the state law may intrude upon Congress' comprehensive authority over immigration and naturalization, citing ''[[Graham v. Richardson]]'', 403 U.S. 365, 372 (1971) and ''[[Truax v. Raich]]'', 239 U.S. 33, 42 (1915).
