"The Congress shall have the power . . . To establish a uniform rule of naturalization."

Why did the founders put that section in there? What do conservatives think was meant by it?
Does it give power to individual states to set aside federal immigration and naturalization statutes in favor of their own, individualized rules for immigration and naturalization?
