Not a personal insult, just an observation. Allow me clarity:

Perhaps it is your sense of scale which is out of touch.

There is no invasion happening. An invasion is one nation's incursion into another with the intent of conquering and plundering. These are overwhelmingly destitute people coming for work. Yes, there was one large march in the streets back in March, organized by George Soros, as protected by the 1st Amendment. Yes, there are two Border Patrol agents in prison, out of maybe 12,000, who were convicted of shooting two unarmed men in the backs as they were running into Mexico, but their convictions were meted out by Americans in an American court of law, not by Mexicans. The other 11,998 Border Patrol agents are not in prison, but are on the job. And yes, President Bush did call the general actions of Minutemen 'vigilantes' as if our national sovereignty depended on men sitting in lawn chairs.

Taken as a whole, your apparent contention that Americans no longer believe in national sovereignty is out of touch.

No estan claro.

It is an invasion. Why? Numbers, concentration over a short time period, the illegality of entry, the sanctioning and the promotion thereof by Mexican authorities and government.

And indeed to your other point, national sovereignity. Many Americans do have a problem understanding what nation-hood means anymore, as they have been inculcated in media, textbooks and teachings to view us as world citizens. Thankfully there is a vibrant and growing number of citizens who DO understand, who have re-educated themselves to those things about law, civics and history which only two generations ago were standard curriculum. In fact, we auto-redactors may now be the majority.
