Theodore Roosevelt 1907 on immigration

 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."
