Republican (proto-fascist/socialist) President Theodore “Robber Baron” Roosevelt—without a constitutional amendment—signs the Immigration Act of 1907, prohibiting the entrance of paupers (poor people) into the United states.
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.
