Migrating, Trespassing, Invading ... it’s a slippery slope.

I grew up near the Mexican border we always called the Illegal Aliens.

Migrants were those that came over to do seasonal farm work.

The word “Invasion” is also in the Constitution. Do states have the right to defend themselves from invasion? I would argue yes, but I’m not a Constitutional expert.

I would argue that if you enter legally following federal law then you are an immigrant. Otherwise you are an Invader.

I agree. My wife and adopted son are both LEGAL immigrants. He eventually did 2 tours in the ME. Both naturalized citizens for decades now.

Never had a problem with migrant workers, but I grew up in southern Arizona and migrants, as you said, did seasonal work.

Unlike most federal judges, you can read and comprehend English.

Yes, the states can defend themselves.
