The Roman Empire didn’t sink due to mass migration. That’s just an alt-right dog whistle. The empire fell because the city of Rome became less and less relevant as time went on. The Roman Empire became the Byzantine Empire which was still just as powerful and influential at that time.

The Roman Empire fell for many reasons not just one. Mass immigration was a big reason. Try reading a book once in a while.

I mean sure if you consider the abuse of the Visigoth tribes by Western Roman officials such starving them and selling them into slavery which inevitably caused them to rise up as an issue with immigration then yeah you are correct.

It became less relevant because of encroaching Germanic invaders. I don't agree with the previous comment that it was because of immigration, though.

There’s no such thing as “Byzantine” empire. It was always the Roman Empire.

I agree, that’s kinda the point. The Roman Empire really never fell.
