The problem with treason is that it is very hard to prove, and that is by design:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.
You see, without this strong definition we'd have Treason charges thrown about haphazardly, like they like to do on TV.

Now, this doesn't mean that I think they are free of Treason, far from it, I am convinced they intend to enact it with their amnesty to the invaders. — I also think that we could trap them, but doing that [IME] requires us to have governors willing to make the first move
