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
