Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In 1891, the new Commissioner of Immigration was made an officer of the Treasury Department. At that time, immigration became federal jurisdiction and was no longer determined on a state-by-state basis. Over time, immigration-regulating offices left the Treasury Department for other cabinet bodies.
