Why does this need to be a civilian effort given these facts?

"Invasion" has a specific meaning in law, particularly with respect to international borders.

Unless you are saying that this is an actual invasion being conducted by the Mexican government, it's a civil law enforcement issue, and the Posse Comitatus Act forbids the use of the military for civil law enforcement.

Actually, V. Fox is facilitating the invaders passage over our borders.

The Mex. Gov. Org. provides maps, blankets, food and water.

So it could indeed be termed an actual invasion!
