Teddy Roosevelt on Immigrants

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~




I have to totally agree. It still applies today.

 

Amen!

It's been fairly quiet. It's spring, and a lot of peeps are re-discovering the great outdoors again. In my case, I smoked a power supply and motherboard last Thursday (smoking IS bad for health ), and spent the weekend and first part of the week doing a total rebuild and fresh re-install, and regretting not getting nearly enough sleep & rest over the weekend. My oncologist chewed me out today for it. Rest is extremely important for cancer and chemo patients.

 

Theodore Roosevelt is probably rolling over in his grave!
