“The Constitution gives control over immigration and naturalization to Congress.”

Which part of the Constitution gives Congress authority over immigration? I can’t seem to find it.

I mean that I do want to believe that our federal government has the constitutional authority to regulate immigration, but I simply cannot find any provision for this in it.
