Doing a little research, I learned that the Articles of Confederation were actually clearer and used the phrase Invasion "by enemies".

This has lead to people assuming this is the Framers intent within the constitution to define "invasion".

Madison extended invasion to encompass Pirates, leading to some people to believe it clearly extends to cartels.

Also, it's reasonable to question the intent of people illegally entering ones domain. If the first act they commit upon arriving is illegal, already they are disrespecting the rule of law. Definitely warrants a response to protect ones borders.
No research, just my opinion.

That would be a squeaky clean argument if we had a truly functioning immigration process. It’s underfunded, understaffed and absolutely broken. We literally make it easier to immigrate illegally than it is to immigrate lawfully.

That’s going to have to be fixed at some point if we ever want to resolve this issue long term.
