Commit this passage to memory and regurgitate it every time you feel the need to discuss what a state can do in regards to classifications based on one's immigration status.

"The Constitution grants Congress the power to "establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization." Art. I., 8, cl. 4. Drawing upon this power, upon its plenary authority with respect to foreign relations and international commerce, and upon the inherent power of a sovereign to close its borders, Congress has developed a complex scheme governing admission to our Nation and status within our borders. . . . . The States enjoy no power with respect to the classification of aliens. See Hines v. Davidowitz, 312 U.S. 52 (1941).
