[Congressional Record Volume 167, Number 148 (Friday, August 20, 2021)][House]From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov]By Mr. GOSAR:H.R. 5062.Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuantto the following:Article I, Section 8, Clause 18: ``[The Congress shall havePower . . . To make all Laws which shall be necessary andproper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, andall other Powers vested by this Constitution in theGovernment of the United States, or in any Department orOfficer thereof.''Longstanding Supreme Court precedent recognizes Congress ashaving plenary power over immigration, giving it almostcomplete authority to decide whether aliens may enter orremain in the United States.In exercising its power over immigration, Congress can makelaws concerning aliens that would be unconstitutional ifapplied to citizens. Demore v. Kirn, 538 U.S. 510, 522 (2003)Congress has sole authority to authorize aliens for work--the executive branch does not share such authority withCongress.[Page H4343]
