being an american

Theodore Roosevelt was president from 1901 till 1909. He was A wise man his ideas on imigrants and being an american in 1907 were good then and are just as good today. Here is what he said, In the first place,we should insistthat if the imigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an american and assimilates himself to us, He shal be treated on an exact eqality with everyone else for it is an outrage to dicriminate against any such man because of cread,or birth place,or origin. But this is predicated upon the persons becoming an american and nothing but an american. There can be no divided alleigance here. Any man who sayes he is An american but something else also isnt 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 loyalty and that is loyalty to the american people. My opinion by John Zilverberg.
