The Invasion of Arizona – The Remedy When The Federal Government Refuses To Do Its Duty

By Publius Huldah.

Article IV, §4, U.S. Constitution, requires The United States to protect each of the States against Invasion. It says:

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

In Federalist No. 43 (3rd para under 6.), James Madison says of this provision:

A protection against invasion is due from every society to the parts composing it…

Article I, §8, clause 15 grants to Congress the power to provide for calling forth the Militia to [among other things] “repel Invasionsâ€

In other words, the good people of Arizona have no other option but to take up arms under the 2nd Amendment and ward off this invasion without the help from the federal government who's job it is to defend it's borders.
