I agree with Pat. Regardless of what the trees in the photo are, invasive species are invasive species, regardless of where they are found. They may "only" be invasive in one state or one region, but who knows what will happen in the future with climate change. It is the responsibility of everyone to do anything they can to not condone or encourage the use of invasive species (plants or animals), regardless of how "beautiful" they are. Maybe some people are confusing native plants with non-native plants, but invasive species are an entirely different thing, causing harm to an entire ecosystem.
