READ TEDDY ROOSEVELT’S 1907 SPEECH UNDER THE PICTURE 107 years ago and applicable today cid:A9FD7B5D75D54B838C8B3A419839F7D3@MerlinPC Theodore Roosevelt 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 persons 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, 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 sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people”. Theodore Roosevelt 1907 Every American citizen needs to read this! KEEP THIS MOVING
