It is becoming more apparent daily that our nation is under invasion.
With an estimate of various news sources ranging from 8-18 million to date, some claim is a much lower estimate if "getaways" are counted, which could then extend this number to an estimated 30 million.
For example, a summary of a judge's ruling against Texas came out on this date.
"U.S. District Judge David Ezra temporarily blocked a Texas law, Senate Bill 4, which would have allowed state police to arrest individuals suspected of illegally crossing the U.S.–Mexico border. The law, signed by Gov. Greg Abbott in December 2023, was set to take effect on March 5. However, Judge Ezra ruled that it violated the U.S. Constitution's supremacy clause, which gives the federal Government exclusive authority over immigration matters. He rejected Texas's argument that it was experiencing an invasion under the Constitution's Article IV. Judge Ezra expressed concern that the law could lead to a confederation of states, each enforcing their immigration laws; federal courts have rejected a concept, he said, since the Civil War. He also noted that while he was sympathetic to the state's concerns about the influx of illegal immigrants, he did not see evidence of a military invasion in Texas." (1)

While many will disagree with the ruling, it states some things under the Constitution which are currently confirmed.
According to the Constitution, particularly the Supremacy Clause, Border Security is under the provisions of Federal Jurisdiction, not the states themselves.
There is another clause in the Constitution, which Texas is relying on, and
Article IV Section 4 of The Constitution, which deals with invasion. It states in part that every state in the union is guaranteed protection against invasion.
Texas argues that under President Biden's administration, the Federal Government has failed to fulfill its duties under Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution. This section guarantees every state in the union protection against invasion.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott contends that the influx of illegal immigrants constitutes an invasion.
Abbott asserts that this perceived failure by the Federal Government triggers Article I, Section 10, Clause 3 of the Constitution. This clause reserves to the states the right of self-defense. Therefore, Abbott argues, Texas has the constitutional authority to defend and protect itself.
In essence, Texas is claiming that the current immigration situation is so severe that it amounts to an invasion, thus giving the state the right to take measures into its own hands under the Constitution.
Visually apparent are the hordes of illegal immigrants who are pouring across both our Southern and, increasingly, our Northern Borders. A vast majority of these are military age, men of fighting ability, from many different nationalities, and among them, Chinese and various others who are either known enemies or at least contentious to the United States. Under these auspices, it is pretty easy to think that this country is under invasion.
There are those, however, who would argue against it, saying that this kind of unprecedented influx of people illegally migrating here with no sense of fidelity to this country, other than what they can derive from it, is merely people looking for a "better way of life." Even though what we see vastly differs from what we see, hear, and read about in the news.
The Federal Government has yet to take action for decades. Nor does it appear inclined to do so. The last action of any sort was when Ronald Regan allowed for a mass Amnesty while under the Congress "promised" that they would secure the border after the fact. As history has shown, that never happened. Nearly 3 million people who were here illegally were granted Amnesty.
The Federal Government and Congress have done nothing more but encourage more and more immigration, and subsequently, illegal immigration has grown by leaps and bounds, along with chain migration, as well as all immigration in general.
Illegal immigration has skyrocketed in the last four years, especially with crime growing exponentially and overburdened cities unable to cope with the influx of thousands per day, especially in Texas, Arizona, and California.
Nonetheless, there is one solution that takes these problems out of the hands of The Federal Government and would allow these border states to secure their borders when the Federal Government or the president are unable or unwilling to secure these borders for whatever reason, thereby leaving the states and the United States much less secure and in jeopardy of an invasion not only from within but without.
This solution calls for a Convention of States to propose amendments to the Constitution and allow border states to defend their borders when the Government is unable or unwilling to do so. These and other possible amendments, which could cover the wet-foot dry-foot policy, disallowing birthright citizenship, and other immigration issues, would force the Federal Government to act. If, for some reason, they do not, then the states would be free to defend their borders as they see fit, with safeguards to prevent abuse by said states.
The Government seems incapable of coming to any decision not controlled by powerful lobbies whose best interest does not come to the defense of the American people but to their self-interest, regardless of how it may decimate the resources and culture of The United States.
Now more than ever, we need to take the powers not enumerated by the Federal Government and give them back to the states as was proscribed initially in the Constitution, not the 2700-page behemoth called the "Annotated Constitution" which greatly lies in favor of tyranny, and Corporate and Federal overreach.
As a nation, we must act soon and decisively, or possibly be forever lost.
