Theodore Roosevelt on Immigration
In 1907 Theodore Roosevelt made this statement:
"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 man's becoming in very fact 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, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars
against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign
flag of a nation to which we are hostile ... 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."
