C) 1 only
D) 1 and 3 only

Answer 1

Under the Constitution, immigration is under the power of the federal government. Immigration is under the power of the federal government as mandated by the Constitution, affirmed by the Supreme Court in Arizona v. United States.

Step-by-step explanation:

Under the Constitution, immigration is under the power of the federal government. This authority derives from the legislative power of Congress to 'establish a uniform Rule of Naturalization,' which is enumerated in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. In 2012, the Supreme Court case Arizona v. United States affirmed federal supremacy on immigration, striking down several provisions of the Arizona law that encroached upon the federal immigration powers and upheld the federal government's broad and undoubted authority to regulate immigration.
