Enforce immigration laws

If Americans started crossing over into Mexico, Central America and into South America indiscriminately, and we started taking over jobs from many a job-seeking Latino, would each of the regions consider such an action or event as an invasion upon their sovereignty or security?

If so, then why are illegal aliens complaining about how we enforce our immigration laws, our borders and our sovereignty?

According to Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution:

“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.”

Now, with that said, what we have left is the interpretation of what “invasion” means.

Why must America be the starting point for illegals wanting to live the American experience?

Cannot living the American experience be had in Mexico, Central America, South America, or anywhere else in the world?

What’s so hard in saying “enough is enough”? Duh.
