Immigrant Qutoe of Theodore Roosevelt
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."

Re: Immigrant Qutoe of Theodore Roosevelt
sadly OP, this quote, which should STILL be a cornerstone of our culture, has been relegated to the dustbin of history by the PTB...

this disturbs me greatly and will go a long way to make American citizens of ALL political persuasions & affiliations realize we no longer have ANY say in the decisions that are made that directly affect ALL of us....

To those Mexicans, yes. It means nothing. To us Americans, it means something.

Re: Immigrant Qutoe of Theodore Roosevelt
just saying the way it was. i had to give up my anscester and my history.

Not that I am proud of it but i could wave the nazi flag. I found out that I had connection to the party but I am so glad to be an AMERICAN. I am getting upset mainly because of all the Mexican flags being waved AND claiming they want legal rights. Just doesn't go n my books. protest

DaJaVoo, nice thread drift. LOL

Teddy Roosevelt. Yes, this is one of the American Values that those that Hate American Values have tried for so long and with so much determination to destroy.

This IS an American Value. Clear, concise, and simply put at that.

Re: Immigrant Qutoe of Theodore Roosevelt
I see it as defining American Culture.

We may have varied ethnicities and taditions, but together we build our culture and make it a common, American one:

one language, one common law and fair and equal treatment under the law.

No but you do remind me at times like Malu. No sure you have met him yet, but he mainly wants Latnio females. LOL

OK off the threads again, I wish people would understand that the words used back in the old days, shouldn't be buried away, It pisses me off that this is the way others think, The morals and grounds people live on today, are made as they go. if it fits what is going on then that is okay.

Well they are saying they want to honor their race and anescter, they don't want to give that up.

I am right now looking to find where it is written that English is our country langauge.


Here is a thought what would happen if we gave them one year to learn english or get sent back to where they are from?

Funny I hear from other in other countries that they don't want them either to change their country.

Re: Immigrant Qutoe of Theodore Roosevelt
Again, I make an appeal to a new Constitutional Amendment to wit:

"If any citizen of the United States shall accept, claim, receive, or retain any title of nobility or honour, or shall without the consent of Congress, accept and retain any present, pension, office, or emolument of any kind whatever, from any emperor, king, prince, or foreign power, such person shall cease to be a citizen of the United States, and shall be incapable of holding any office of trust or profit under them, or either of them."

This will open up the question and debate about divided LOYALTIES. Such as all those with DUAL citizenship.

Re: Immigrant Qutoe of Theodore Roosevelt
Teddy's statement does define a part of American Culture.

The problem is that every since World War Two, the dual citizens holding non-approved titles of nobility within positions of power within our own government have fostered and crammed Multi-Culturalism down our throats, aided and abided by numerous Non-Government Organizations operating within every State within the Nation.

Multi-Culturalism instead of American Culture is crammed down the throats of all our public Elementary, Middle, and High Schools.

I know, my son often remarked about it though his Elementary and Middle School years. He is now being home schooled so that he can be taught the American Culture instead of the MultiCultural junk they are teaching and grading on in School. If you don't agree with the teachers on the Multi-Culturism the teacher is preaching, you will get bad marks for non-cooperation in the schools.
