      The Romans most certainly did. Goths fleeing from the Huns crossed the Danube and asked to be granted asylum with the bounds of the Roman Empire. The Romans agreed, but treated them appallingly under restrictive conditions. They rebelled. All downhill from there.https://twitter.com/NabheetS/status/1009791220225208320 …

      History question for you: when in the past have governments tried to prevent human migration? Did the Roman or Chinese empire prevent people from other parts of the world to live and work in their territory? Or is this concept of controlling migration an exclusive European thing?

      Woah - so you’re saying that accepting mass movement of refugees was the nail in the coffin for Rome...

          It's specious to say "here's the sole reason the Roman Empire fell". There were a lot of factors involved.

          Disease, balkanisation, corruption. The troika for me.

          Would you count outright incompetent emperors as part of corruption?

          The Romans accepted thousands upon thousands of foreigners into the Empire. Mostly through conquest, others by military contracting. The goths were forved to sell their children into slavery in exchange for meagre food. They rebelled because of that.

          Possibly, although I think my takeaway was a bit different: what I heard was, quarantine people & treat them like shit, & inevitably someone is going to start throwing rocks.

          The Goths endured a lot of fucking miserable conditions for a long period of time, just waiting to be accepted into the Roman Empire <that they were granted.> So, in fact, the complete opposite was true - it was the increasing xenophobia that resulted in the nail being hammered.

          Because a general (whose name escapes me) decided to fuck with the Goths.

          Did you miss the words "treated them appallingly under restrictive conditions"? Come on man, it's only a tweet. Even a typical 10-year-old would be capable of reading it to the end.

          I’d go farther and say it was Rome over-privatizing that made it weak to invasions, susceptible to food shortages - way before any kind of immigration comes into play.
