'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

Should've adopted his ideas then. We wouldn't have some of the problems we have now. English should be the nationally declared language. And we should never forget immigrants need America not the other way around.
We now have an anti American President and associated party. They use illegals for voting power with no concern about real Americans.
One of my professors in college said the downfall of "Americanism" was going along with the subsets of the nationality "American". ie African-American instead of all of us just being American's.
WHAT A RADICAL!!!
lol
This is all so true. Just look around. And this is why so many are upset with politicians and looking at electing Trump. This is what the liberals have caused.
Never happen again with the wimps we have ruining the GOP.
those days are long gone
