Time for a History Lesson, Immigration Options

[PFC Mustangman]

The Roman Empire was inarguably the greatest civilization of antiquity.It took nearly a thousand years for the world to recover from the fall of the Roman Civilization.A fall that is traditionally dated A.D.476.The fall occurred for many reasons,but most of the direct blame lies in the migration and toleration of hostile Germanic Tribes out of Eastern Europe.These tribes penetrated the unsecured borders of the Roman Empire and settled deep within Roman lands.Over time,since the Romans felt that they could not successfully boot these invaders out,the Tribes were allowed to stay in the Empire.Many even joined the Roman Army and were given the authority (not always officially) to enforce their own laws and preserve their seperate cultures,and for a large part did not assimilate into the greater Roman Culture.By A.D.476,The Western half of the Empire was overrun by various Eastern Tribes and the land was Roman in name only.In that year,one of these Tribes,the Visigoths,sacked the Eternal City of Rome,a city which had not been touched by outside invaders for 800 years.Through there was not much left of the Western Empire by that point,it is the fall of the City of Rome to the Visigoths that has traditionally symbolized the destruction of the once great Roman Empire.In the end,the greatest civilization know to man was brought down by illegal immigrants that were granted amnesty.

coming from a floridian ,i have no problem with anyone moving here to have and pursue a greater life,i only wish everyone else pays their own way. right now ,in south florida , because we are so pc ,theres like 40 to 60 kids to a classroom and probably half are tax payers. i know i know ,the canadians get taxed more than we do BUT... my entire tax bill is mostly to schools (%90) and between my tax bill and low insurance ,these payments are more than my mortgage which is the reason for the stall in the real estate market here,not rates,not prices.



the fact is half the people are paying for all the services of the illegals . am i happy that they get full health care ,schooling ,language class , food stamps , money and free rent???? no ,especially when i make an above avrage salary and am barely afloat. i dont want my kid going to a public school here because imo they look like prisons and private schools start at $21,000. a year and you still have to teach in two languages. oh ,and get this ... now there seems to be a tax crisis so all services will be cut soon ,amongst these cuts are teachers,city workers ,police,fireman and emts , which means that im working my ass off for less police protection a shitty education for my kid and if i get hurt ill be lucky to get an ambulance.



sorry if i seem irate but i currently have all my properties for sale to move to a more stable state.this is a real problem and until you live in an area that is %40 illegal immagrants you really wouldnt see it.florida is now starting to get national attention as its really getting tuff here , i could only imagine what california is like.
