Article IV of the Constitution addresses the obligations of the federal government to the state governments that were being asked to surrender aspects of their sovereignty to form our new Union.
"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government," reads Article IV, "and shall protect each of them against Invasion."
Late in the War of 1812, U.S. forces held Fort McHenry in Baltimore Harbor through a nightlong attack but failed to stop an invading British army at Bladensburg, which marched on to Washington and burned the Capitol and White House.
To repel a British invasion and the capture of New Orleans, and a blockading of the Mississippi, Maj. Gen. Andrew Jackson mustered a defending army that almost annihilated the invading British force.
Half a decade later, President James Monroe sent Jackson to halt the raids of marauding Indians out of Spanish Florida into Georgia.
Jackson stormed into Florida, crushed the Indian tribes, sent the Spanish governor packing to Cuba and hanged two British subjects for collaborating with the enemy.
Secretary of State John Quincy Adams persuaded the Spanish to cede the "derelict province" they could not control -- or Jackson might return, and we might just take it.
Madrid got the message. We got Florida.
When Pancho Villa sent a raiding party across the U.S. border in 1916 and killed Americans in Columbus, New Mexico, President Woodrow Wilson sent Gen. John Pershing and an army that grew to 12,000 into Mexico to run him down.

They know America is free and full of opportunity. That even the poor here have access to 12 years of free education for their kids. That they will find better health care in America than they can find at home. That there are programs here to battle poverty, hunger and homelessness.
But from the standpoint of the nation to which they are coming, the illegal migrant millions present real problems. They consume far more in benefits than they pay in taxes. They are dead weight on the welfare state.
"Biden is in a vise on border," said The Washington Post Sunday headline, over a story describing the president's border problem.
But the only way Biden can have a political crisis on the border is if he is seen as failing in his duty to defend the states against invasion.
Why is he failing? Either he can't do what is needed to be done, or he won't do it.
America's border paralysis is induced by liberal ideology.
The left does not want the illegals coming here. "Do not come!" was the message Harris gave the Guatemalans. But when it comes to the necessary toughness to stop the invasion, they recoil.
Joe Biden is no Eisenhower, no Wilson, no Quincy Adams and certainly no Andrew Jackson.
B.S. The people in charge of the Democrat party definitely want the illegals to come here. It is the only way they can change the demographics enough, quickly enough to keep them in power.
They do not like their current population.
They are trying hard to replace it.
He cannot stop the invasion because it is necessary for the agenda. The ComDem’s are being paid to continue the chaos in order to destroy and take over the USA as part of the Global Government.
THAT is the thing connecting the entire Cabal.
If that were true they would have left Trump's set up in place. This whole article is zany. It assumes that the Junta cares about Americans. It only cares about the Revolution.
>>The left does not want the illegals coming here. “Do not come!” was the message Harris gave the Guatemalans. <<
Then, out of habit, she yelled “pull out!”
Because he and his cabal haven’t infected enough Americans with COVID. They must complete phase two, which is swarming red states with illegals who have COVID.
He won't do it. He wants millions of ILLEGALS that will become new democRAT voters. Their spawn will triple their population within 20 years and you can bet they will vote for all the welfare and freebies they can get.
Our enemy is within.
It’s not that he CAN’T... it’s that he WON’T.
When Trump had the border under control the Biden Regime said it( the “system”) was broken. Now it is fixed and all can come over...
Cuba is China’s greatest trading partner and China does not want to lose Cuba, The money China gave to Hunter is a strong motivator to support Chine and the Cuban situation.
Good God. That was my thought. Who the hell thinks Biden and his cronies want the invasion stopped?
It is their idea.
Hahahahahaha! I really DID spit my coffee there!
Biden is part of the invasion.. Commies all.!!
BOTH parties cheated Trump out to get the invasion going again.
Both parties obstructed Trump building the fence.
Both parties have kept the border open and the laws unenforced for 30 years.
The Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA) is back on track and BIPARTISAN!
Flimsey Grahamnesty, Micro Rubio, Cornyn, Tillis, Hoeven and others can’t wait to give the Democrats a permanent majority with amnesty.
Trump had to fight both parties to get what fence built that he was able to accomplish.
The invasion has been a bipartisan project for 30 years.
It’s been a bipartisan project for 30 years.
Our enemy is within both parties, Flimsey Grahamnesty and Micro Rubio can’t wait to give them all amnesty.
Democrat/Commie/Soros thugs want illegals to destabilize the country. Biden isn’t worried many are from South American countries with the highest covid rates in the world...
Press toadies aren’t calling for them to be vaccinated ... or even tested.
It’s intentional.
