With that, do you mean the modern populations of France and Spain?
One thing though - the Western Roman Empire was mostly ruled by barbarian peoples, e.g. Gauls, Normans, Franks, Goths, etc. So how is there a parallel between letting foreigners rule entire parts of your empire, and letting immigrants in your country to serve practical functions?
The proportions are certainly not the same.
