So...the people elect some other people, who vote as a body passing laws on immigration. These laws are signed into effect by the President, who was also elected by these same people.

This sounds suspiciously like the system of government set up in the U.S. Constitution.

The only way for THE PEOPLE to grant power over immigration to the U.S. government is to amend the Constitution. Merely creating a law which contradicts the limited authority granted to the federal government does not lend any legitimacy to that law regardless of how many people want it.
