"To establish a uniform Rule of Naturalization and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States."
That doesn't even come close to establishing that the federal government is empowered by the Constitution to have sole control of immigration. In fact, the word "immigration" isn't even mentioned in the section you cited.
I'm sure that you can find the federal legislation which claims this power for the federal government, but you claimed that it was in the Constitution. You would have made a better case by citing the Jurists' Amendment with its language on citizenship and naturalization.
Sorry, boy. You've run into someone who has not only read the document but who didn't even have to get out his copy to refute what you just claimed. Maybe you have read the Constitution, but you obviously disagree with its provisions.

You really are ignorant Twodees. Better bookmark that Depends link.
"Congress' power to admit aliens under whatever conditions it lays down is exclusive of state regulation. The States ''can neither add to nor take from the conditions lawfully imposed by Congress upon admission, naturalization and residence of aliens in the United States or the several states. State laws which impose discriminatory burdens upon the entrance or residence of aliens . . . conflict with this constitutionally derived federal power to regulate immigration, and have accordingly been held invalid.''
