Revised and Updated Version of My Article "Immigration is Not Invasion"

AI-generated image.

A revised and updated version of my article "Immigration is Not Invasion" now up on SSRN and can be downloaded for free. It adds more historical evidence on the meaning of "invasion" in the Constitution and the Alien Enemies Act. It also addresses recent events, such as Trump's declaration that fentanyl is a WMD, and his military intervention in Venezuela to seize that country's dictator, Nicolas Maduro. None of these actions convert illegal migration or drug smuggling into an "invasion" of the US, and many of them are themselves illegal. These actions are covered in Part III of the article.

Law journal editors may be interested to know that I will be submitting this article for publication in the spring semester submission cycle.
