Congress has to power to raise armies, and to keep them on federal property and territory.

The necessary and proper clause gives the Congress the power to move them about outside federal areas for necessary and proper purposes in necessary and proper ways.

Congress has the power to “make rules concerning captures on land and water”.

“Congress shall have power to...establish an uniform rule of naturalization.”

[States clearly retain the right and power to expel foreigners on their territory not in federal custody as per congressional rules, even those with bona fide asylum claims.]

“No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of the citizens of the United States”

“The migration or importation of such persons as of the states now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by Congress prior to the year 1808”

[New York State could contract charter flights to fly asylum claimants from Mexico to JFK]

“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited to it by the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.”

However, in this case, the Congress is useless.

Congress = House and Senate.

The House is Republican, the Senate is democrat.
