With all of the talk by Trump of the necessity for a border wall,

and all of his framing that true security for THE AMERICAN PEOPLE can only be provided with a big, beautiful wall, my question is this:

exactly how many times has the US been invaded by any countries south of the US?


I know that the US, literally or by proxy, has invaded nearly every country south of the border.

I know that the Monroe Doctrine is cited as the justification for treating every South and Central American country, and the Caribbean countries, as the property of the US.

I know that the US regularly interferes in the affairs of all of these countries.

But what enemy has actually ever invaded?

Or is it brownophobia, the fear of brown skinned people?
