The lower 48 states have never been invaded
Until Biden's reign. Anyone who doesn't feel this way should provide another answer.

Chief, that link should have come with a warning. I watched that, now I'm going to take a shower with lysol,,,,,,,yuck, a total dweeb interviewing a terrorist lover.
LMAO, They are out there.
The problem is she really believes her own koolaid . The millions of illegals are suddenly going to morph into certified nursing assistants and go to work in rest homes .She is an idiot but a smart and dangerous one . After all she convinced people to vote her into office .
I disagree. The communists invaded a short while after WWI and were largely silenced and ousted until after McCarthyism fell into disfavor and we have been heavily invaded ever since. This was well before Biden took office in 1973.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Poncho Villa in 1916
The Brits in 1812
And who can forget the Beetles?

During the War of Northern Aggression, federal troops invaded the CSA.
In the 1830s, the government started efforts to remove the large native tribes from the Southeast. The plantation owners and probably many others probably started saving money to buy the land before that even started. Including Europe. Investors could have sent money with purchasing agents to the US in the hope of buying a piece of a plantation which would make their money back quickly.
Is it possible some of them actually bought land at inflated prices? Is it even possible a bubble was created due to so many people bidding on a limited resource?
Is it possible some of them did not realize the US and other countries were enforcing the US’ 1807 ban on the importation of new slaves and the 1807 Conference of Vienna with significant naval forces? Maybe they didn’t realize infrastructure like slave forts had been destroyed? Perhaps plans to smuggle new slaves in proved inadequate because too few got through?
Maybe they didn’t think existing slave holders in the US would withhold slave sales to newcomers in order to prevent competition? Maybe the existing slave holders had been disingenuous about their intentions, so people would buy the formerly Native American land and go bust and lower the price?
If any of that is true, perhaps they went bust but could not sell the land back and give their investors back their money because the price bubble had collapsed?
Can it be some of the newcomers kept the land they had bought with investors’ money and farmed it, even though without slaves it was hard to generate cash?
Can it be the lost money led to malcontentment in Europe which made 1848 a year of upheaval? Perhaps barons and counts lost the money with which they had funded their secret police?
The crew of the CSS Hunley had two Germans, a Dane, and a Brit, but it is possible most of the broke European investors had to move to the northern USA rather than the southern. They did not have any more money with which to buy a farm, so they needed jobs in manufacturing.
Can it be the immigrants got citizenship and voted as soon as they could, and the rest agitated until they could vote? Can it be the hope of the Southern ones was to eventually sneak enough slave smuggling ships like the Clotilda through to eventually staff their farms to make money? Can it be the hope of the Northern ones was to leave the tenements and buy some former plantation land and be gentleman farmers once slavery got banned?
Can it be the agitation strongly contributed to the Civil War?
This is all a little embarrassing to discuss but I have heard people state the opinion that the US committed a genocide against its own people. Some of them even seem to insinuate they have to seize more power than the Constitution allows in order to protect themselves.
But suppose the land buyers and their broke investors from Europe wanted to give each other a thrashing?
