But they can still vote?

A survey of the period during which what Edward Gibbon termed a “deluge of barbarians” overran the empire is beyond my present scope, but it will suffice to say that the fall of the Western Roman Empire was preceded by a long series of migrations and invasions across compromised Roman borders.

A case study of a disastrous border incident in the fourth century AD encapsulates the essence of the ongoing crisis along America's southern border today. Primary sources attest that, like our own government, the imperial administration of the late empire was directly responsible for bringing about a migration crisis on its own borders for political gain. In the final book of his History of Rome (Res Gestae), late Roman historian Ammianus Marcellinus records the infamous moment that a swath of Gothic refugees was officially invited to cross the Danube River during the rule of the emperor Valens in AD 376. Ammianus writes:

“Therefore […] they [the Goths] took possession of the banks of the Danube, and sending envoys to Valens, with humble entreaty begged to be received, promising that they would not only lead a peaceful life but would also furnish auxiliaries, if circumstances required.”

To condense a long sequence of events, the huge company of Gothic migrants that had suddenly descended on the imperial border was seen not as a danger, but rather as an opportunity by the Roman political and military elite. Ammianus records that “the affair caused more joy than fear,” since the recent arrivals were viewed as a pool of fresh recruits by which the emperor might bolster his own military power and profit financially. It is not hard to detect similar political interests behind the weaponization of migration by today's Democrats, who clearly stand to enjoy an enormous swelling in their support base by allowing unrestricted migration from central and South America. A 2022 study from Pew Research Center confirms that Hispanic voters continue to heavily favor the Democrat Party (60% of Hispanic voters surveyed indicated that the Democrat Party represented their interests, especially on immigration issues).

At length, we read that the Roman state promised food and resettlement to the Gothic refugees, and not only permitted but facilitated the influx of Goths across the Roman border en masse.

“In this expectation various officials were sent with vehicles to transport the savage horde, and diligent care was taken that no future destroyer of the Roman state should be left behind, even if he were smitten by a fatal disease. Accordingly, having by the emperor's permission obtained the privilege of crossing the Danube and settling in parts of Thrace, they were ferried over for some nights and days embarked by companies in boats, on rafts, and in hollowed tree-trunks...”

This is where parallels start to pile up. Like Rome, the US government (collaborating with globalist-aligned NGOs) has acted to facilitate the perilous journey from central America to the southern border, and to provide direct transportation such as flights and busing across the country from major border crossing sites in Texas.

Illegal Alien Flaunts Cash to Mock American Taxpayers Who ‘Work Like Slaves’ to Fund His Lifestyle




An infamous illegal alien freeloader has taken to social media to flaunt stacks of cash he’s been given in handouts while mocking the American taxpayers who are funding his lifestyle.

As Slay News previously reported, Leonel Moreno is the illegal alien “migrant influencer” who has urged his followers to use squatter laws to “invade” American homes.

After an apparent TikTok ban, Moreno took to Instagram Wednesday to mock American taxpayers who “work like slaves” to fund his lifestyle.

In a series of five short clips, Moreno flaunted a stack of cash, which he waved in front of the camera.

He also bragged about not having to work and mocked fellow migrants who come to the U.S. to work cleaning, construction, and landscaping jobs.

“I didn’t cross the Rio Grande to work like a slave,” Moreno said in Spanish, according to a translation of his videos.

“I came to the U.S. to mark my territory.”

Moreno claims to have enough money to go at least a year and a half without working.

At times in the video, he sings and waves cash with a baby in his lap. ...

In prior videos, he claimed that his family received $350 a week in government handouts since entering the U.S. illegally.

He also claimed to be raking in up to $1,000 a week on the video platform, which he apparently isn’t paying income tax on.

California elites are expressing outrage after squatters seized a $5 million mansion in an exclusive neighborhood that is home to multiple wealthlty A-list celebrities.

The massive home, in ultra-exclusive Beverly Grove on the outskirts of Beverly Hills, was invaded by squatters and became a source of rowdy parties.

While the awesome spectacle of the bridge collapse traumatized the country, it also brought to mind the fantastic flow of ten-thousand illegal border crossings a day, stage-managed by the “Joe Biden” Homeland Security team. Did you kind of wonder how many in that 10K-a-day flow might be the same species of Central Asian mutts who volunteered to slaughter over 150 (so far) Russian concert-goers? Nobody is checking who they are, you realize. They just step on US soil, get issued smartphones, loaded debit cards, walking-around cash money, airplane and bus tickets and, voila, there they are in your home town tomorrow, looking for something to occupy themselves. Thanks a bunch, Alejandro Mayorkas!

Are you wondering what sort of mayhem they might be capable of unleashing any place from Bangor to Burbank in the weeks and months ahead? (And, while you’re at it, think about all the food processing plant fires, train wrecks, and other mysterious tribulations around the country the past couple of years.) Consider that this very week alone, following the SSK Bridge disaster, absolutely nothing has been done by our government to stem that flow of countless potential saboteurs into the country. The news media isn’t even talking about it (of course).

A group of migrants involved in a riot at the southern US border have been ordered to be released by an El Paso magistrate judge.

The swarm of migrants overwhelmed Texas National Guard soldiers who were trying to organize them into groups to be taken into custody by Customs and Border Protection (CBP). At one point, a migrant attempted to grab a soldier's firearm, one National Guard source told the NY Post.

In the US, it will be those with extra rooms being pressured to rent to illegals. It will start in places like NY and Michigan. Watch.

On tuesday, Fox News ran a super encouraging story headlined, “Texas installs more razor wire fencing along border.” The Texas National Guard is now stringing concertina wire fences all along the Mexican border around El Paso.

Thus, it’s a very good thing that Texas is enthusiastically arresting migrants for cutting down their border fences as criminal mischief and destroying state property...

Where are the unions? More proof that unions are just fund raisers for Dems and are unconcerned about American workers.
