post little tidbits of info about American History that is either sent to us or
we find ourselves via the net and history books. Some may argue that this
info is biased but we don't create the info we only post it.
The year is 1907, one hundred
years ago... READ PRINT UNDER PICTURE
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
