    Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants

    The year is 1907, one hundred and 3 years ago.

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

    '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.'

    Theodore Roosevelt 1907

    Every American citizen needs to read this!


    KEEP THIS MOVING

    As someone whose great grandfather and grandfather knew Teddy Roosevelt first hand I can say he was inconsistent on ethnic identification. He wrote the paragraph in response to the question of whether German Americans could be trusted to be loyal to our country and fight against the Kaiser if neccessary.
    I support enforcement and see its lack as bad for the 3rd World as well. Remittances are now mostly spent on consumption not production assets. Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

    I have read these words from TR many times and it just occurred to me that this quote should be added to each and every correspondence that we send to our representatives and lawmakers in government, and to groups such as LaRaza, Mecha, Lulac, et. al. EVERY TIME a letter, email, fax, radio or television ad, ie. message is sent. OVER and OVER and Over again until it is ingrained in and comes into the minds and thoughts of these people, immediately and automatically upon the subject of illegal OR legal immigration coming up.

    No matter why TR wrote these words, these words and the idea behind them are brilliant and very applicable to the situation we find ourselves in today.

    I agree. Trying too much to place these, or any other words, into any kind of context does not always serve a useful purpose. There is too much over-analyzing going on, which merely confuses the issue and dilutes the value of the message. Revisionism of history can go too far, as when the only purpose is to please some particular group or idea, or to try to find any reason to destroy the messenger.
    Whatever context these words came out of, the truth that they express stands alone, on its own merit.

    I'll tell you why...Because TR was a true American Patriot and cared about the country. He understood the Constitution and the Founding Fathers ideology and vision for America. Today he would be a Racist.

    Wonder if Glenn Beck will mention that Roosevelt pearl - and it is a genuine pearl of information and dedication to America.

    Yes, I watch Glenn Beck.

    No, I don't agree with everything anyone says.

    It's not wise to do so.

    I watch Glenn and think it is funny when he acts up. He is just a guy doing a really hard job...trying to educate. Hell...even here attempting to help people to understand how serious it is to understand the Executive Orders is like pulling teeth!!!

    Until the "State of National Emergency" is undeclared we will continue to live in a dictatorship. It is just that simple. The odds are that since Obama is not legally eligible and will not pass the new laws that will require him to prove his citizenship for reelection...he will probably use the state of war clause that says that no new elections will happen thereby allowing him and congress to stay in office indefinitely.


    State of national emergency From Source Watch

    "According to the United States Constitution, Article 1, only Congress shall make federal law. However, since the War and Emergency Powers Act of 1933, every president has usurped lawmaking powers. Their 'laws' are called Executive Orders (EOs). These EOs, not our Constitution, are what is governing America today. The War and Emergency Powers Act enables ... the president to declare a national emergency, and thereby become a dictator."[1]

    "Presidents can also carefully choose their words and declare a war on anything, in order to give them dictatorial control. For example, the War on Drugs makes it possible to use federal authorities, such as FBI, FEMA, BATF, and the military against American citizens. A well-known example is Waco. Another example is Hurricane Opal. After Florida was declared a nation emergency, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) arrived on the scene and residents were placed under marshal law (restricted to the point of not going outside their door). When the federal government does this, it is going against the Constitution. The War and Emergency Powers Act is an unconstitutional act on the part of our government, created so that presidents can bypass Congress, and do whatever they choose."[2]

    "It also makes it possible to do away with posse comitatus in cases of 'emergency'. Posse comitatus is what protects American citizens from the military being used against them."[3]

    Our courts turned against us and created a dictatorship.

    The courts in 1937 decreed that treaties, known as executive agreements, signed by presidents Executive Orders do not require consensus or approval by either the legislative (Congress) or judicial (U.S. Supreme Court) branches of the government.

    "The Constitution for the United States" to re-iterate the wording of clause four of the "Preamble" ,i.e., "promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this CONSTITUTION for the United States of America" and to emphasize that this is a charter that "We the People" have given to the united States, and not that the States or the National Government has given to "We the People". It is "We the People", the Sovereign Citizens, who must, through our efforts and responsibilities, secure this Charter of Liberty, Freedom and for Responsible Government for All Future Generations.

    The authority of government lies entirely and irrevocably within the Body of The Whole, "We The People".

    Regarding what is known as a State of National Emergency, "According to the United States Constitution, Article 1, only Congress shall make federal law. However, since the War and Emergency Powers Act of 1933, every president has usurped lawmaking powers. Their 'laws' are called Executive Orders (EOs). These EOs, not our Constitution, are what is governing America today. The War and Emergency Powers Act enables ... the president to declare a national emergency, and thereby become a dictator."[1]

    Since March 9, 1933, the United States has been in a state of declared national emergency. In fact, there are now in effect four presidentially-proclaimed states of national emergency: In addition to the national emergency declared by President Roosevelt in 1933, there are also the national emergency proclaimed by President Truman on December 16, 1950, during the Korean conflict, and the states of national emergency declared by President Nixon on March 23, 1970, and August 15, 1971.

    THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is the constitution of the incorporated UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. It operates in an economic capacity and has been used to fool the People into thinking it governs the Republic. It does is not!

    Capitalization is NOT insignificant when one is referring to a legal document. This seemingly "minor" alteration has had a major impact
    on every subsequent generation of Americans. What Congress did by passing the Act of 1871 was create an entirely new document, a constitution for the government of the District of Columbia, an INCORPORATED government.

    The ACT of 1871 newly altered Constitution was not intended to benefit the Republic. It benefits only the corporation of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and operates entirely outside the original (organic) Constitution of The Constitution FOR The United States.

    But as far as I know this has been a very quiet under the radar usurpation against the Constitutional government. Your question may be "why" why would they do that? The history of the constitution was to protect "we the people". It fences in the government. So...it is not hard to understand that the government does not want that. They have been working to destroy or avoid or usurp the Constitution sense before the ink was dry. No...there has never been any publicity or fan fair or editorials or public news about Executive Orders. Anything to do with Constitutional usurpation is done covert in the dark of night. The real damage started with the Act of 1871 till today. Now we have a puppet government shaming and scamming the public along letting them think there still is a Constitutional government when all we have are a few judges and EO powers.

    So why haven't they declared the dictatorship we how have? Because that would take admitting that they have lied all along. What they have done was not legal by Constitutional law. But they own the courts. The courts are the ones responsible for this mess...not POTUS or Congress. Or at the very leas there is absolute collusion on everyone.

    You can help me dig into this. I am just a drywaller with limited experiences with law. But I have worked many years figuring out what is wrong.

    The first step is to understand that this is true and happening and share this knowledge with as many as possible. We have to start a buzz first before it can become a roar. Believe me...I know how hard it is to get people to listen to "conspiracy theory." But this is black and white record not theory.

    This is the first major userpation
