Take a trip to the east coast of the United States, or the west coast, or the Canadian-U.S. border, or the U.S.-Mexico border. You will notice one important thing: There is no foreign army invading the United States.

Recently, Iran fired missiles at a U.S. military base in Iraq, which, as it turns out, ended up injuring dozens of U.S. soldiers.
