What Theodore Roosevelt Said About True Immigrants

(NOT ILLEGAL FOREIGNERS)

When one takes legal American citizenship, “it 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.” (1907 Speech)
