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 t he American people." 
Theodore Roosevelt 1907
