In case you missed it, Article 4, Section 4 uses the open ended and all-inclusive word "Invasion"as in:


The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion

Quote:
Mr. BURKE thought it of importance to fill the country with useful men, such as farmers, mechanics, and manufacturers, and, therefore, would hold out every encouragement to them to emigrate to America. This class he would receive on liberal terms; and he was satisfied there would be room enough for them, and for their posterity, for five hundred years to come. There was another class of men, whom he did not think useful, and he did not care what impediments were thrown in their way; such as your European merchants, and factors of merchants, who come with a view of remaining so long as will enable them to acquire a fortune, and then they will leave the country, and carry off all their property with them. These people injure us more than they do us good, and, except in this last sentiment, I can compare them to nothing but leeches. They stick to us until they get their fill of our best blood, and then they fall off and leave us. I look upon the privilege of an American citizen to be an honorable one, and it ought not to be thrown away upon such people. There is another class also that I would interdict, that is, the convicts and criminals which they pour out of British jails. I wish sincerely some mode could be adopted to prevent the importation of such; but that, perhaps, is not in our power; the introduction of them ought to be considered as a high misdemeanor.” RULE OF NATURALIZATION, FEB. 3RD, 1790

What on earth is happening to the United States?
It is being taken over by a faction w/in the U.S. government, and the top 1%'ers who have allied themselves with them. Its work in process, but its almost done. You can tell because the corruption is so out there in the open, they don't even try hard to hide it anymore.

They are in our face with it, like they are saying...."yeah, we're corrupt thieves and there's not a darned thing you can do about it"

Scary thing is that they are right. The Republican party isn't willing to fight them anymore....just a few Pubs in DC are willing, but most are not.

Why dod they even bother investigating each other? Nobody is ever held accountable, so I guess they are doing it to keep up the charade that there are 2 opposing parties.

At the current rate [starting when the Biden Administration took over] which foreign nationals are flooding across our southern border, the number will be about 15 - 20 million by 2024. And, the current Republican Party Leadership, federal and state, works in concert with the Democrat Leadership to allow the invasion to continue.
