Immigration and invasion are how civilizations fall.
But it’s “racist” to say it.
Rome was, after all, Rome! It had survived, and even flourished, after Hannibal's invasions, numerous internal revolts, etc. So there was no need to take any real precautions. Rome could never fall. Until it did.
I see a lot of that thinking in the West today, America included.

Excellent history post whose valuable lessons few in power will likely heed.
Those who ignore lessons of history are doomed to repeat them.
Why is it so few can see the existential threat that Islam presents to non-Muslim’s freedom, way of life, and survival?
Rome didn’t really fall. It was “fundamentally transformed “.
Among other reasons, Rome was destroyed by admitting so many people who had no loyalty to Rome.
One of the Other reasons is "Democracy", whereby the power blocs in Rome granted the vote to all these unloyal "citizens" and then bribed them with bread and circuses to support the existing power blocs, very much in the manner that Democrats bribe poor people with welfare to keep voting Democrat.
The Democrat policies of unlimited "immigration" and Welfare vote bribing are exactly what destroyed Rome.
At the rate it is going Europe will soon become our number one islamic enemy.
Mmmmm, not really. Rome primarily collapsed from being too big for the technology of the time and basically losing control of itself, eventually the outposts were so independent they just stopped being part of Rome. By the time the Goths sacked Rome (bearing, again, no real resemblance to what happened in Paris) Rome was already pretty collapsed, heck Rome wasn’t even the capital of Rome anymore. Paris is how wars start, not how civilizations end.
