besides yours?
there is no express immigration clause it is only implied in right wing fantasy.
immigration?
I was under the impression we were discussing the 2nd Amendment.
What does immigration have to do with it?
implication.
Implication is not legal according to the 10th amendment.
Has to be expressly granted federal jurisdiction.
Immigration is expressly mentioned in the Constitution.
{...
Article I, Section 8, Clause 4 does read, “… To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, …”. The 14th Amendment, Section 1 addresses the protection of “All persons born or naturalized in the United States,…” which extended citizenship through the States to the former slaves. The rules of immigration were reserved to the States through the 10th Amendment until the first Federal law was enacted in 1875. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled the following year that immigration regulation was an exclusive Federal responsibility. Congress established the Immigration Service in 1891, which was the first time the Federal government took an active role.

Since the Constitution clearly recognized the need for there to be uniform naturalization rules, then that jurisdiction extends to entry as well. You can't have states doing it because if one state was stricter, immigrant would go to a more lenient state and then cross over to the more strict state once inside. And that would cause states to block interstate commerce then, which is also explicitly covered.
