Common welfare does not grant any authority to Congress to do anything other than the specific enumerated powers. Congress is PROHIBITED from having "implied powers".
Judicial power does not grant power to judges to create laws or to allow the government to do anything other than what is specified by the Constitution. Judicial power extends (covers) all cases arising UNDER THE CONSTITUTION.
This doesn't mean Judges can extend the powers of government. It means their limited judicial powers cover all of the things that government is allowed to do by the Constitution in its enumerated powers.
Interpretations of the Constitution do not count. The Constitution is written in English. It doesn't require interpretation. It means what it says and it says that the federal government has absolutely no authority to create or enforce immigration laws, PERIOD.
