What we are seeing at the Southern states borders, individuals with children from far flung locations applying for asylum or simply entering our country illegally, does not, especially by James Madison’s explanation, constitute “invasion” via our Constitution’s Article IV Section 4 clause.

Yes, one can play semantics with the word invasion in order to justify their opinion that our President is allowing an “invasion” by illegal immigrant and their children that he could and should repel militarily by Federalizing the NG.

However if one looks to the founders explanation-definition “invasion” is by force(s) of a foreign nation.
