Teddy Roosevelt on immigration

In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...

There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

A good quote Sandhusker, and let no politician compromise this position, there is no other way to build a nation other than maintaining proven standards.

The problem is that no politicians have balls anymore.

They are more worried about the minority "Vote" than his constituents.

Micheal Regan had a clip from John Edwards yesterday. They were
asking him what was a 'right' and what was a 'privilege' in this country.

Interesting that he said the right to carry a handgun was a privilege,
yet any illegal immigrants in this country for 5 years had a RIGHT
to be a citizen.

Has he never read the US Constitution?

I don't think the Constitution matters to any of them anymore.

Are those who even after several generations, refer to themselves as Irish Americans, Italian Americans, African Americans etc, the type of people who cannot assimilate into the American culture?
