Defining Invasion: Legal and Historical Perspectives
This chapter explores the complex legal and historical implications of the term 'invasion,' particularly in relation to immigration and border security. Through an examination of 19th-century Texas responses to incursions from Mexico, the conversation critiques the modern labeling of migrants as invaders and its possible constitutional ramifications. The discussion raises critical questions about state and federal roles in managing border security while addressing the potential consequences of unilateral actions by individual states.
