Holy crap. So who will fund this "immigration army"? Where will be their home base? whare will they acquire the weapons needed to take on the entire US military?
In the case of Britain, Britain will fund the immigration army. In the case of the US, the US will fund the immigration army. It will be done exactly how it happened during Rome's last days; when Rome funded their "immigration army" which finally helped to end that society the same way.
The elites of a dying society can not pay outsiders to serve in their military to which their own citizens are not even loyal..... and not expect anything but chaos.

But
you are the one sowing disloyalty against the military. Not immigrants. White nationalist vigilantes with too many guns are not the military. People who take orders from their pastor over orders from their CO are not the military. The
military is the military, and it is a citizen-led, multicultural, pluri-religious, politically diverse entity. Your idea, that we should hate and discriminate against
some veterans on the basis of their immigrant background and some wild conspiracy theories that unjustifiably impugn their service, is traitorous and unpatriotic.
When was "Rome" at it's height? Whatever year you name, if you think Rome had an all-Italian army and navy during that year, you are dead wrong. Rome was at its height when all of the nations of the Mediterranean felt that they had a stake in keeping Rome in power, and that included mutually beneficial tributary relationships that sent young people to the capital from Africa, Germany, and wherever else.
Point of order - most "Italians" were just as much foreigners in the Roman Empire (and Republic) as were Gauls or Hispanics or Sicillians or Corsicans.
Rome was a
city state; People from other italian cities were as foreign as people from any Roman city other than Rome itself.
Though that's confusing to modern sensibities; Romans saw the citizens of the city of Rome (and later of Constantinople) as the "real" Romans; But they didn't give a hoot where those "real" Romans were born, only that they lived in Rome, and lived like Romans - speaking Latin, and embracing Roman lifestyles and Roman gods.
And anyone (inside the Empire or not) who spoke Latin, and lived like a Roman, was Roman. So an Italian Roman from outside the city of Rome was no more Roman than a Gaulish Roman, or a British Roman, or a German Roman.
The embrace of Rome as an exemplar by modern fascists and ultra-nationalists, depends on an abject failure to grasp that
Roman concepts of nationality, ethnicity, and belonging, were utterly alien to modern people. Living as we do in a world of controlled and fixed borders, we have difficulty in understanding how the world was organised and managed when most borders were not fixed, and not controlled.
The Roman Empire was an agreement on how to live, rather than a geography. People could be forced to agree to do things the Roman way (and refusing to agree would get them killed), so if you squint, it looks like a modern expansionist empire taking territory from her neighbours. But Rome didn't take territory; It took
people.
Rome was more like a religion or cult than it was like a modern empire. Don't think of Roman expansion into (for example) Gaul as like the German invasions of France in 1914 or in 1940; Think more of how Scientology would expand if it had a large military wing.
Converts to Rome
were Romans. The Romans didn't so much recruit foreign soldiers, as convert foreigners into Romans. And what better way to demonstrate your conversion, than to join up to fight for your new ideals?
Perhaps the nearest modern equivalent was the way US citizenship expanded between the Declaration of Independence, and the inception of the US constitution. Americans in that period were mostly born in Europe (Native Americans very definitely did NOT qualify by right of birthplace, nor was being born in the American colonies sufficent to make one American); What separated an American (or as they styled themselves, confusingly, "Patriot") from a patriotic British Colonial Subject, was not geography or ethnicity, but a choice of which authority to obey.
Expanding America in that era didn't entail moving geographical borders, but rather shifting peoples'
opinions from loyalty to the empire led by George III, to loyalty to the rebels led by George Washington.
The idea that ones place of birth (or that of ones grandparents) was the measure of ones belonging to a given polity, was absurd both in Imperial Rome and in Revolutionary America*. It's a twentieth century idea, that twenty first century idiots are trying to paste onto a fourth century history that they don't comprehend, in order to justify their insane desire to put themselves, and any other people who look enough like them, above the rest of humanity.
* Although in America the ethnic division of Africans and Native Americans from white "Europeans" was already established - something that would have been incomprehensible to the Romans. I am talking here about the places of birth and the backgrounds of the white folks on either side of the British/Revolutionary divide.
