Ultimate Immigration Opinion

America's 26th President's thoughts on Immigration

This was written in 1917, although it was believed to be written in 1907. But in my heart I know that the date matters not, what matters is what a great President had to say on the matter.  And this is how MOST Americans feel today! While I am just fine with immigration I do have to agree as would ANYONE who took a moment to actually THINK about what’s being said rather than allowing their “FEELINGS” to have any say!

“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 1917
