Uncontrolled Immigration - The Great Empires and Dynasties it has destroyed. Over The Centuries.

We just have to do a quick check of history to find out what happens when republics or democracies die. They die horrible painful deaths. If we don’t change course soon that is our future.For this podcast my main goal is to review the history of immigration and more specifically, uncontrolled immigration and the effects it has had on the countries or empires that have experienced it.Lets start with some history on immigration, not just ours but the history of major empires and countries throughout history who have dealt with immigration, That’s right immigration is not a new issue and that gives us a lot of perspective on the good the bad and the ugly that comes with it. So let’s get started.The Han Dynasty of China faced a similar dilemma to Rome regarding "barbarians" on their northern border.The Strategy: To protect the frontier, the Han allowed "Southern Xiongnu" (nomadic tribes) to settle inside the Great Wall. Like the Roman Foederati, they were used as a buffer against other more aggressive tribes.The Conflict of Loyalty: The nomadic tribes never fully integrated. They maintained their own tribal structures and, during times of Han weakness (like the Crisis of the Three Kingdoms), they realized the central government was too weak to control them.The Outcome: In 311 AD, these "immigrant soldiers" revolted and sacked the capital of Luoyang, forcing the Chinese elites to flee south. This ushered in nearly 300 years of "The Five Barbarians" period, where North China was ruled by non-ethnic Chinese warlords.
