Quotable Quotes

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 |
