My dictionary lists the first definition of invasion as...
invasion: The act of invading, especially the entrance of an armed force into a territory to conquer.
If I could get my hands on a Black's Law Dictionary from 1891, I'd look up the definition at that time since it's probably the most accurate and most likely matches this one.
We can also read about the discussions made by the founders when they created this clause. It was referring to invasions from British or other army troops.
