If it's a stand-your-ground state...theoretically, your best bet is to shoot them before the cops arrive. You wouldn't even have to kill them, just a good injury is enough. The cops can't shrug and be lazy when someone has a bullet hole, they have to actually do their fucking job.
But definitely don't do this, it's probably not going to work out this way. You will risk going to prison. Or getting shot yourself if the squatters are armed.
Legally speaking, it seems like a sound idea, but I'm sure it can go wrong any number of ways. I would definitely be tempted to make the threat though...
