I don’t know if you’re making a comparison, but if you are, this is not remotely the same. The Goths actually admired Rome enough that eventually every people wanted to be a link to that kind of society, the immigration that came after it’s collapse was going to happen regardless to fill in the gaps to maintain that fallen society, but ‘Roman’ administration, military, and law was enforced and guided those german people.
And we are not dealing with European people.
The third world dickweeds aren’t building anything or aspiring to be more ‘American’, they’re just going to keep taking more of the pie until there is nothing left, they’re just dropping the ideological window dressing at this point because there’s no neutral arbiter anymore that’s enforcing rules
on them. It would be very easy to fix this, if an assimilation is a failure: deport them, we still have a society we’re not dealing with a fallen Roman empire, immigration is a huge risk because if it doesn’t work out, it’s going to be a pain in the ass to get rid of them, but it is possible.
people who have always paid now pay even more to subsidize those who weren’t paying, while also getting hit with additional fees for the “crime” of driving to work because public transit is unsafe or unreliable. It follows a familiar progressive policy pattern: a vulnerable group is identified and prioritized with housing, services, or free transit; funding is extracted from working- and middle-class people through taxes; the contributors are excluded from the very benefits they fund due to means-testing; quality steadily declines, as seen in notoriously mismanaged systems like NYCHA; and any criticism is dismissed as a funding issue rather than a failure of the program’s design.
Meanwhile, when those who pay for everything speak up, they are scolded as privileged, selfish, or bigoted, told that “housing is a human right” and that “this is about compassion.”
