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.

IMNSHO; If you come to this country or any other, and strive to become a citizen of said country, then I have no problem with immigrants.



One of the hardest working guys I know is originally from Croatia.He,his wife and daughters left as the tanks rolled down their street, and never looked back. a few years ago, he took the citizenship test and passed 100%. But he does not understand a great deal of english, so it is hard for him. He's 50 something years old, so learning a new language is harder for him, but he knows German, and so a coworker and I communicate with him that way when all else fails. but he works 40+ at our printshop, and then goes home and works at the print shop he has set up in his garage at night and on weekends.



My own ancestors came here from Germany and Denmark, and disavowed any alleigance to the Kaiser or the King of Denmark. If you are willing to come here -or anywhere- and bust your butt like everyone else and follow the rules? I've got nary a problem with you. But if you sneak in, abuse the system, and cause trouble? Hit the bricks pal, I've got no use for you.
