Did you take an oath to watch for migrant workers crossing the border? There is no "invasion" of the United States within the meaning of the Constitution. Do you believe in using original intent to interpret the Constitution or do you believe in reading into it anything that suits your political agenda? Immigration was considered a state responsibility (eg Texas Rangers) until an activist Supreme Court ruled it to be a federal matter in the 1880s.

It wasn't until Prohibition was passed that Congress established a Border Patrol to keep booze out. (I guess you would call it an "invasion" of Tequila.)

If you can only justify your position by blatantly distorting the meaning of the Constitution you must not have any good reasons for being a Minuteman.

Invasion of fire ants, invasion of mini skirts, invasion of killer bees, invasion of Italian shoes, invasion of hip huggers, invasion of British sitcoms, invasion of French wines, invasion of Irish steppers, invasion of Russian caviar.....

You forgot the British invasion of the 60's my man. And you still haven't answered my previous question. If you're not interested in answering it, just say so.

Actually they're illegal alien lawbreakers.

You are right. I would put your buddies in the same group as fire ants and killer bees.

What do you call it if a foreign country is sending its people into this country? The Constitution is to defend against enemies foreign and domestic, but you knew that didn't you.

Actually, I am in your debt. I never realized that people like you existed. I did not know things were as bad as they have gotten. Thank you again.
