Republican (nationalist) President Arthur—without a constitutional amendment—signs the Contract Labor Act, prohibiting the immigration of free market workers who have earned their passage through an agreement of bonded servitude.
NOTE: Article I, Section 8 [Clause 4] grants Congress “Power to … To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States.” The Constitution says nothing about immigration; that is a power reserved to the States via Article X of Amendment.
