Hadrian!!!
Isn’t Hadrian’s Wall almost always depicted as a negative watershed moment for the Romans? It was the moment they stopped expanding and turned inward, a high-water mark and cultural turning point that changed the nature of Roman civilization, a prelude to its eventual collapse. No?
We need more that just the wall for Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement. The list goes like this -
1) southern barrier;
2) require eVerify to hire;
3) end all chain migration;
4) birthright per Minor v. Happersett (plural parents);
5) end work visas;
6) 10-year moratorium on all new applications for citizenship (40 years to allow workplace automation effects on downsizing population)
7) demonstrate English proficiency to acquire citizenship and pass civics test.
Enactment of these provisions will motivate illegal aliens to SELF-deport.
Also consider reciprocation of the laws of the countries of origin of the illegal aliens. For example, Mexico doesn’t allow land ownership or voting to immigrants, and doesn’t honor birthright citizenship like its citizens expect from the U.S. We should offer the same deal to them.
Yo, Hadrian!!!!
This guy’s an idiot. First of all, the Picts weren’t Celts, Boudica wasn’t a northerner (her tribe was from what today is East of England) and Hadrian’s Wall didn’t even isolate England from the Picts because the North West and North East regions of today’s England — the regions just south of the wall — also were heavily settled by them.
And Hadrian didn’t build the wall to prevent Celtic invasions or raids. It was too picayunish to stop a major invasion and too sparsely guarded to deter raiding.
He built it to control migration and the trafficking of goods between the north and the south.
