[Congressional Record Volume 167, Number 132 (Wednesday, July 28, 2021)][House]From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov]By Mr. GOSAR:H.R. 4760.Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuantto the following:Article I. Section 8, clause 4, (the Naturalization Clause)gives Congress sovereign control over immigration. In Chiracv. Lessee of Chirac (1817), the Supreme Court affirmed thatthe Constitution grants Congress Plenary power on immigrationpolicy. Further, in Galvan v. Press (1954) the court found``that the formulation of policies [pertaining to the entryof aliens and the right to remain here is entrusted toCongress has become about as firmly imbedded in thelegislative and judicial tissues of our body politic as anyaspect of our government.''Finally, in Sessions v. Dimaya (2018), when discussing theaggravated felony definition in section 101(a)(43)(F) of theImmigration and Nationality Act (INA), Justice Neil Gorsuchissued an opinion stating, ``Congress remains free at anytime to add more crimes to its list. It remains free, aswell, to write a new residual clause that affords the fairnotice lacking here. Congress might, for example, say that aconviction for any felony carrying a prison sentence of aspecified length opens an alien to removal. Congress has donealmost exaclty this in other laws . . .''[Page H4251]
