What would you do?

An attack from the North would give us multiple weeks to months warning
An attack from the Gulf again comes over water giving us warning though perhaps not as long a warning as over the east or west coast.
The only weak spot really on the borders is the land cross from Mexico. So lets say someone tried that approach, it really wouldn't be that challenging of a process to fortify that area with large numbers of troops.

If anything, the 'attack' would come from the inside using sleeper cells to cause a massive distraction.

One group with a bio-agent would cause local pandemonium, a few would cause the whole system to grind to a halt

That would cause a lot of forces to pull resources into another sector leaving necessary strategic defences open.

If it all happened at once causing a chain reaction then we are forced to counter attack everything
