      (the US) haven’t had “foreign invaders” since the War of 1812.

      False. Pearl Harbor was a foreign invasion. So are covert assassinations by foreign operatives.

        False. Hawaii wasn’t a state in 1941 and Pearl Harbor wasn’t an invasion anyway. Wake Island would be a better example since it was actually invaded, but it was also a claimed territory and not a state. Assassinations are not “invasions”.
