Full Text of the Constitution of the United States | Freedom Documents
Specifically:
Article 1, Section 8:
To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;
and
Article 1, Section 9:
The Migration ... of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the 1808, ....
Keep in mind that Section 9 states that after 1808 Congress not just the States had the legal standing to set Immigration laws. I don't think it has ever been argued that a Nation can't regulate it's borders, that would be a little ridiculous.
