He goes on - about immigration of course:
"When the Roman empire fell, it was largely as a result of uncontrolled immigration... and we went into a dark ages, Europe went into a dark ages that lasted a very long time."

It is of course possible (and in my view correct) to say that one of the reasons for the success of the Roman Empire was that it was open to "immigrants" and prepared to benefit from their talents. After all, it lasted a good deal longer that the British Empire!

This is a strange view.... it took centuries before Rome recognised talent outside Italy, or indeed Rome itself.
