alt Hacker NewsI think that's fair.
I suppose my argument is then that war was already happening, and it was declared by Chavez/Maduron on most of LATAM and USA, the moment they decided to export their problems (drugs, criminals, destitutes), into LATAM and USA, hurting our citizens.

Well then why didn't the rest of LATAM fight back against Maduro? They could have asked the US to form a coalition if they wanted the help.
Anyway, that is the exact argument the Trump admin is making (drugs/gangs) but they didn't take it to Congress, as required.

Americans want those drugs though. And we need the immigrants, otherwise who's going to pay for our social security?
This reasoning would justify invasion of just about any country in the hemisphere. Many with much more justification than Venezuela.
