ARTICLE IV sect. 4. The United states shall guarantee to every state in this Union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the legislature, or of the executive, (when the legislature cannot be convened,) against domestic violence

It's there plain as day and yet our very own government chooses to ignore it.

Late to the Memorex party. How is everyone?

With all the illegals here and the number of “sanctuary cities” across the country, I am really depressed about the upcoming election. I can understand them coming here looking for work, but geez, at least follow the rules like my parents did when they came here from Greece.

Then again, when businesses are looking for cheap labor, rules go by the wayside I guess.

Their "out" on this is probably that the interpretation of an "invader" in the founding documents was meant to describe an invading, armed army, not an invading army of people seeking work and/or handouts. You know how they just love to dither with "meaning" in the founding documents. After all, they found the "right" to an abortion in there, and the "right" to remove any mention of God from public schools in there too. Today's politicians see whatever they want to see in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
