re: Dick Durbin wants illegals in the military

Where's the problem?

It's what Rome did with the Germanics.

Look how well that worked out for them - and they didn't even necessarily have to make them full-fledged citizens.

Then when they finally had the numbers, they bit the hand that fed them, causing the fall.

That couldn't possibly happen here, could it?

Turban Durbin, a true woefully naive pobre-cita, has to be the type Santayana had in mind with his intuitive maxim.
