Believe it or not, Christie Todd Whitman sued the INS in 1997, alleging, among many counts, that the U.S. had failed to protect the States from an invasion of illegal aliens. The District Court held, which was later affirmed by the Circuit Court of Appeals, that an invasion must be an "armed invasion." I just wonder how that analysis might change in a post- 9-11 world.
