Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.

The year is 1907, one hundred and 2 years ago.

Every  REAL American citizen needs to read this!



"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

person's becoming in every facet 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... 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."
