Rome fell after its legions became dominated by non-citizens, the journalist said, likening it to the migrant crisis in America<\/strong><\/p>\n Allowing illegal migrants into the US military as a means of granting them citizenship will lead the country towards inevitable collapse, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson said in a video posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday.<\/p>\n In the clip, Carlson recalled the fall of the Roman Empire, stating that while historians have long debated the reasons for the collapse of one of history\u2019s most powerful empires, one fact has been \u201cpretty obvious.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThe roman military, its legions, became dominated by non-citizens, who in the end, because they weren\u2019t loyal to Rome, turned against Rome\u2019s citizens,\u201d<\/em> he explained.<\/p>\n Carlson went on to say that this course of events was similar to what is currently happening in the US, which has been \u201cflooded\u201d<\/em> with illegal aliens \u2013 over 7.2 million since President Joe Biden entered office, according to the White House\u2019s official estimates. \u201cThat number is greater than the population of 32 states,\u201d<\/em> he noted.<\/p>\n But the main issue, according to the former Fox News host, is that instead of deporting these people, Congress is entertaining the idea of enlisting them into the US military. One such proposal is the Courage to Serve Act introduced by Pat Ryan, a Democratic congressman from New York.<\/p>\n The bill would offer \u201cqualified and vetted migrants\u201d<\/em> an expedited path towards citizenship if they serve in the military, Ryan said, noting that the US military missed its recruiting goals by around 41,000 in 2023.<\/p>\n Carlson, however, vehemently rejected the idea, arguing that the military\u2019s struggle to meet recruiting goals is the result of intentionally alienating white American men who have always made up the majority of the country\u2019s fighting force.<\/p>\n But instead of addressing these issues and figuring out why young Americans don\u2019t want to join the armed forces, Carlson claimed that Congress has decided to \u201callow an invasion of the country, not use the military to stop it, and then populate the military with people who are invading the country and hope for the best.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Former US President Donald Trump warned last month that America would collapse if Joe Biden remains in office following this year\u2019s presidential election, suggesting that the country will have over 18 million illegal migrants by the end of the year.<\/p>\n \u201cWith four more years of Biden, the hordes of illegal aliens stampeding across our borders will exceed 40 to 50 million people,\u201d<\/em> Trump claimed, saying healthcare, education, and social security will collapse under the pressure.<\/p>\n
