Actually, under the Constitution, the states still have the power to regulate immigration into their own jurisdictions. The 14th Amendment chains the states to providing equal protection under the law to everyone within the state's jurisdiction, but nowhere in the original articles or in any amendment was the power to restrict or allow immigration ever delegated to the federal government.

The way the Constitution works, unless a power is specifically listed as a federal power, it ain't one and unless a power is specifically delegated by the states to the federal government or specifically prohibited to the states by the constitution, then any power claimed by a state in its own constitution is a valid state power. See the 10th amendment.

Federal usurpation of the power of the states to limit or even prohibit immigration is unconstitutional. Section 9 of the Legislative article shows that states have this power regarding immigration because the section is placing a temporary condition upon this state power. BTW, that condition lapsed in 1808.

Your pitiful flailings at the supreme law of the land would embarrass any sober person. Fortunately for you, you're seldom sober or you would be too embarrassed to pretend to be an attorney.
