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.
It’s an interesting, unprecedented situation for sure.
Whomever said earlier in this thread (it may have been you?) that both sides (Texas and fedgov) are working from the US Constitution is correct.
I just don’t happen to believe when they were discussing “invasion,” the FFs ever envisioned hundreds of thousands of people pouring actoss the international border illegally and a bunch of federal employees allowing it to happen—thereby infringing on the rights of the American people.
The answer will ultimately lie in how SCOTUS chooses to interpret all of this.
Unfortunately it’s looking more and more like that isn’t going to work for Texas, hence the impending divorce.
