Where Marc Anthony is ordering a wealthy land owner to have all the slaves either freed or be given citizenship due to the fact that there is no work for either do to the fact that the slaves are doing all the work.
But of course the wealthy land owner is against this.
Just like here. Everyone wants to keep those damn brown people from crossing our borders yet we don't want to stop hiring them to do our shit work.
This is the kind of shit that makes me wonder how a large percentage of Americans are smart enough to even remember to breathe while they walk.

2. The series "Rome" has a lot of interesting parallels, but |

since our civilization is derived from the Roman civilation, I guess there are a lot of events that repeat themselves. I am happy that we gave up eating mice though.
