This is the basis for American laws, and our freedom. With a populace restrained by an inner moral code supplied by Christianity, a police state is not needed to control people. They control themselves.

The Romans made the same mistake as we have done. They let millions of barbaric, non-Romans settle in Rome and the Italian peninsula.

The rest was history, er, Dark Ages.
