Article 1, Section 8 Speaks of Naturalization, not of Immigration

   Here's a little bit of a bombshell: The part in the Constitution often quoted to say Congress has power over immigration actually says no more than that Congress can establish an uniform way to be declared a citizen. It says nothing of immigration, itself.
   Further, look at the first time (1790) Congress did fulfill this part of the Constitution, the first time it did establish a law on how to be declared a citizen. The new law, reflecting what Article 1, Section 8 set forth, said the person must have lived in the U.S. for one year and must have been of good character. It did not set forth any restrictions on coming here.
   "The Congress shall have Power . . . to establish an uniform rule of Naturalization." Naturalization is not the act of immigrating, it is the act of being named a citizen once you are here.
