Thread: "1907" Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants

Amen, Amen & Amen...........
And Roosevelt is not the first to bring this to immigrants attention....but our current fearless leaders seem to have missed the lesson....




The year is 1907.....but the speaker knew what he was talking about.





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."

Flag waving and railing about speaking only "the English language" is ridiculous and silly on its face. Fortunately, the buttheads don't define what is and what isn't "American." Oh by the way Teddy, for your information Teddy, ALL OF LATIN AMERICA (notice that word Teddy, AMERICA) is populated by AMERICANS. Get used to it and do yourself a favor and pull your head out of the sand and learn SPANISH. You're going to need it Teddy. Wise up."

A "true American" already knows, so if you need to be told,, we know where you stand.
