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
e
xact 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
