For the relief of Allan Bolor Kelley.

From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] Mr. WAXMAN: H.R. 1207. Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuantto the following: Article I, Section 8, Clause 4 of the Constitution providesthat Congress shall have power to ``establish an uniform Ruleof Naturalization''. The Supreme Court has long found thatthis provision of the Constitution grants Congress plenarypower over immigration policy. As the Court found in Galvanv. Press, 347 U.S. 522, 531 (1954), ``that the formulation ofpolicies [pertaining to the entry of aliens and their rightto remain here] is entrusted exclusively to Congress hasbecome about as firmly imbedded in the legislative andjudicial tissues of our body politic as any aspect of ourgovernment.'' And, as the Court found in Kleindienst v.Mandel, 408 U.S. 753, 766 (1972) (quoting Boutilier v. INS,387 U.S. 118, 123 (1967)), ``[t]he Court without exceptionhas sustained Congress' `plenary power to make rules for theadmission of aliens and to exclude those who possess thosecharacteristics which Congress has forbidden.'
