U.S. Immigration law is very complex, and there is much confusion as to how it works. The Immigration and Naturalization Act (INA), the body of law governing current immigration policy, provides for an annual worldwide limit of 675,000 permanent immigrants, with certain exceptions for close family members.

Where in the constitution does it give the President the power to limit immigrants entering the US?

This is not is in the constitution. The constitution gives Congress the power to restrict immigration. The president has the power and the duty to enforce immigration laws passed by Congress. I can not tell you exactly what the immigration laws are, but actions of the president concerning immigration must be based on immigration laws. If not, federal courts can rule them void and disallow them.
