Immigrants are the new untouchable class. They're here to create the new world order American caste system. They say this outloud in Europe and Australia.
We also have wage laws. So the problem of slaves taking work that might have otherwise gone to citizens doesn't exist. Instead, we ship all the work overseas, where there are no wage laws and citizens lives are meaningless chattel to the government.
The old world was the way it was due to limitations that we don't experience. The old imperial wiles of Rome are interesting and even instructive, but they have no to negative value when clumsily remapped over the present.
Oh.. it's a bad sign for us but we're not experiencing any military shortfalls that are significant to our actual homeland security. Also, Rome was conquesting for new territories, it's a lot easier to just hire the conquered people into your army and have them hold garrisons there under a few citizen officers.
Diversion.. but that's why I liked Caesar. If you surrendered before the siege ram touched the wall, you basically paid fealty to Rome and everything was more or less forgotten. Hold out for even one second too long, total slaughter. Anyways, really got people to surrender very defensible positions out of an understanding of what it was they were fighting.
And for a long time, the military wasn't allowed with arms inside the city. It was a very different model that played to the strengths and weaknesses they had at the time.

Anytime you have to hire foreigners for your army, it's a bad sign tho and that's Roman thought in my mind. Rome also offered citizenship for service
