Contrary to popular belief, the word immigration does not appear anywhere in the US Constitution, which raises the question of whether or not the immigration issue is an enumerated power of the Federal government, constitutionally speaking.
The term naturalization does appear in the US Constitution however, under Article I Section VIII Clause IV which assigns the federal government via the Legislative Branch, the power To establish a uniform Rule of Naturalization; a legal means and method by which immigrants can gain access to U.S. citizenship via an organized and controlled naturalization process.
But shall we take a look at Mexicos immigration laws (http://www.canadafreepress.com/2007/lillpop022707.htm) to determine if their laws are more fair than ours?
What are the states supposed to do when the federal government fails? Go down with the ship?
