When foreign nationals invade your territory and attack your people, that is literally an act of war. In this case, our own government is complicit.

Yup.

No, it is not. If the foreign nationals are part of a recognized military force and they attack Americans, that’s an act of war and the response is the military’s and the militia’s.

If they come across as private persons and attack Americans, it’s a crime and a tort, and the response is the police’s.

What you said may be emotionally satisfying, but it’s not correct, and if you keep saying it, you’re not helping the issue of correcting our illegal immigration problem. Crossing our borders without permission is not an invasion, nor is it trespass (which implies the notion that the U.S. as a whole is private property; nope, California tried that in the Depression and the courts shot it down).

We do not have sufficiently strong laws to define the act of being in the U.S. without proof of legal residence as a deportable crime per se, and the Fifth Amendment guarantees the right to a trial in any crime.

I never thought I would say this — but we need more lawyers in this matter!
