Theodore Roosevelt, Reference Immigration...

Even Teddy had problems with Illegal Immigration during his time as president. but it is not to the state that it is now. It is over run and needs reform!! However it is interesting what Teddy had to say so many years ago!!!

Take a Read, it is really enlightening!!

Theodore Roosevelt

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes herein
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!
