T.R.'S 1907 STANCE ON IMMIGRANTS
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 the American people."

THIS IS JUST AS IMPORTENT TODAY , IF NOT MORE SO , AS IT WAS 100 YEARS AGO

You should send that on to the Senate and House of Reps for one. Supreme Court and White House also. Maybe to a few of the Mayors of the cities that embrace the illegials. 0 -
Oh its a lot more fun to take it up the ass like a good American.

X-ring Doug Wilson,
everyone of us that do take the extra step to formally contact our senators and congressmen should include this quote/statement by someone I consider a great American and not just a past president.0 -
