1) Regular people wouldn't in any signifigant way fight against an invading army
2) Coastal regions are largely anti-gun and have low gun ownership.
3) It wouldn't work anyway, we would know about fleets long before they ever get here and the military would be prepared and have a large advantage
Would probably only take (or encircle to starve out) coastal cities, and advance only as deep as the great lakes on the east, on west just stick to the coast. It mostly likely would not start out as a naval invasion, or at least not directly invading america first, but start out from either Canada or Mexico. Both direction would prioritise east coast, if attacks start from Mexico, they would try to capture Texas quickly for the oil, if from Canada, they'd rush for DC to decapitate command. As I said before, they can just "encircle" and starve out cities, as you seen in Canda, even blocking some important roads is very effective, now imagine holding all rail, all roads, and naval blocade, and cut power, people inside the city would get hungry real fast.
Aren't the Mexicans already doing it?
I have some serious firepower in my pants if you know what I mean.
Any kind of conventional invasion won't happen because of nuclear weapons, should one happen any attempted invasion force would be glassed with nuclear weapons along with the rest of the earth. With that being said, that any invasion is doomed to fail, an invasion of America would involve the rapid deployment of a million troops to every part of the United States using aircraft. Of course even if they reach the ground everyone both troop and citizen would be dead from radiation poisoning if they weren't vaporized within a few weeks. The earth would suffer an extinction level event similar to what wiped out the dinosaurs, maybe there's one bunker capable of surviving indefinitely underground, maybe humanity can survive, but I doubt it. The fallout would kill most life except for the most resilient, say goodbye to the fragile ecosystems that make oxygen plentiful, it wouldn't wipe out all life, but we are talking about hundreds of millions of years to even recover. By them humanity could leave the earth if it survived somehow.
They have a button that will turn all the chinks in California rabid
imagine the mexico of today but on a global scale
that's an internally warring USA
All the nukes on the earth would barely make a change in the global ecosystem, even if you'd target all the rainforest to fuck up the oxygen, air would be fine, due to all the plankton. Plus trees can handle radiation, foliage was not damaged around Chernobyl, you can only destroy as much forest as the fireblasts could cover. If you'd go for mass population reduction, you'd detonate massive nukes off coast underwater, and cover coastal areas with irradiated water, but that would not really influence anything a few hundred km deep inland. Other thing they could do, is nuking all nuclear power plants, and irradiate large areas around them, but people in significant enough distance would live, just cancers would be more frequent. There are less nukes made globally, than the number of cities on the planet, and that include tiny tactical nukes, of which hundreds would be needed just to take out a larger city. So even if there will be a nuke war, plenty of people will be fine.

No one would be able to make it further than 100 miles inland.
