Yes, the history of the Roman Empire can be very instructive when it comes to the US-Mexico issue, but not in the way DG thinks.
Since 9 C.E. when the Germans kicked Roman butt and the Romans gave up their plans of absorbing Germania as a Roman province, wave after wave broke the limes (wall) and invaded the happy peaceful Roman Empire, taking bite after bite out of it. Yes, they repelled them for centuries, but in the early 400s the "inferior" Germans finally sacked Rome, forcing the Romans to give them Gaul and even make them Roman citizens. They even helped the Romans expel Attila the Hun, but just 25 years later they saw their chance and took over, breaking the empire up into several German kingdoms ran by relatives. The Roman Empire was kaput, and after the Muslims began invading, the Dark Ages set in.
So what's the lesson? We should accept Mexico and its Mexicans as part of the American Empire as full U.S. citizens now and not let it degenerate into a wasteful and dangerous long-term war that only makes us weaker. Right now the American public is stuck on stupid and thinks we can build and maintain limes like the Romans did, while at the same time knowing that they won't hold them. They even toy with the idea of granting citizenship to the fraction that successfully breached the limes, which actually is like allowing Mexico to annex us, keeping their corrupt Mexican govt. intact, able to make alliances with our worst enemies. But the only real solution all along is to accept all Mexicans as U.S. citizens in return for them abolishing their failed runt nation and its ever-corrupt govt. and setting up 10 new states, letting one govt. rule all, ours, complete with our Constitution and Bill of Rights. It can be done with a plebiscite, starting with an offer of immediate U.S. citizenship for every Mexican on both sides pledging to support the megamerge.
A 60-state U.S. can finally secure its borders on the south side at the Mexican coasts, and easily control immigration from overseas. There will be no Germania next door trying to break through our limes, and we will become E Pluribus Unum, with the freedom solution allowing free 2-way migration that will develop the new states to the same level as the other 50, creating an economic boom and reducing unemployment to zilcho. It's only when the border is viewed as a unidirectional sieve that evil desperate apocalyptic thoughts come, but after the border is erased, allowing non-Mexican "gringos" to freely migrate south, the solution becomes pure good, win-win. Imagine gringo-Americans born in Veracruz and Mexican-Americans born in LA running for Congress at the same time. Imagine some of the new states having a non-Mexican majority.
Only I have a far-seeing bipartisan 7-step plan on the table. Spend the time to visit my Megamerge Dissolution Solution Blog and jump on my bandwagon that's based on knowledge of history not kaput white supremacy and English supremacy.
