And now a word from 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

 

well said!

 

Amen

 

We know. This has been quoted about 100 times since the new Arizona laws. PackerfanXD uses it in his sig. Still, great words to live by!

 

Did not see that last time I read one of his posts.

 

Good words to Live By!!!

 

*Clears throat*

 

Maybe Teddy should have worked with congress on making English the official language of the country back then.

 

My apologies for not seeing this before.
