Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being AMERICAN in 1907

Posted: Apr 29, 2016

'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.' Theodore Roosevelt 1907 ;

ty for correction, yes millions not billions LOL

a little late, don't you think?

there is plenty in this country for everyone, but the problem is the greed by those who live in fear of anyone else getting anything they have...

this board seems filled with those who are afraid, afraid of others who are different, afraid someone else might get something more than what they have - and of course throw hate into the mix and you have a real nice Trump Kool-Aid.

...now to convince others of the same using propaganda to make people believe they are not worth anything.

Wow what an un-American way to feel about immigration, yours I mean - patriotic MT

So you condone breaking the law. You condone these illegals having mixed loyalties, etc. I'd say you need to re-read Roosevelt's opinion/speech. He is defining being an American. He is telling all people this is what we expect from them, support USA only.

Boy, it is so easy to slap people on this board in the face when they stand up for their country and what it means to be an American, not an illegal who thinks they deserve to have it all even though they broke the law.

The only propaganda I see is anti-Trump BS - I am not afraid of anyone but terrorists

The fear induced by the Democrats, that the rich are getting everything and those who have not worked so hard want a free ride (after all Bernie promised free everything)and Hillary is "fighting for us." (The poor downtrodden under educated who cannot make a decent living?) This is the propaganda you should focus on, not that Trump has promised to bring jobs back to America.

Now if we could stop anti-Trump uninformed people that their propaganda is focused on the wrong person.

Have a look at Hillary and Bernie who are mad as he!! that the less fortunate are not getting enough free stuff from the wealthy. Class warfare at its best pitting the rich versus the poor and the ethic groups against the wealthy white people.

Listen to their anger and shouting when they speak trying to fire up the under educated to vote for them using class warfare to get votes.

Why would anyone who is not in the top 1% - Fair treatment

[ In Reply To ..]
so vigorously defend that 1%. Most of them have more than prospered. They are able to use tax shelters to avoid paying their share. They have exploited workers to maximize profits. They have shipped American jobs overseas and moved offices overseas to again avoid taxes. Virtually all the growth in wealth in this country goes to the top 1%. What the Pubs like to call "redistribution of wealth" is really just fairness.

The people with the money make the rules - this is part of the corruption of government

[ In Reply To ..]
The people with the money give massive amounts of money to the greedy politicians who take their money to increase their wealth and make laws to protect their wealth as well as the contributors.

That is the way of the political world and people who support Trump want to change it by electing him president.

He's one of them - Color me dubious

[ In Reply To ..]
Why do you think he's going to change things? Do you really believe he is going to support legislation that makes him poorer? And if he is the nominee, keep watching his contribution page to see who is donating. Even if he doesn't end up taking large contributions do you think he will advocate against his own self-interest?

Trump will support legislation to make him a successful - president and be reelected.

[ In Reply To ..]
Maybe Trump wants to be a success and not a sellout like the career politicians.

Trump does not need any more money. He needs to be a successful president for the people and to be reelected. Maybe he wants to be considered a great man who rescued America from economical devastation.

There are some people who treasure success more than money especially when you already are a billionaire.

Dubious away and keep your head in the sand.

Is Trump going to be president for free? - Truthhurts

[ In Reply To ..]
in the beginning of his campaign, he bragged how he donated to politicians so he could get his way in whatever his little heart desired.

Trump always needs more money. Everyone does. Are you happy with what you make? You want more, don't you? So does he. It's a known fact that people are never happy with their income.

I don't believe Trump is someone that "treasures success." What Trump treasures is garnering as many places he can put his name because that's his nature a/k/a egomaniac.

His money is probably also kept in offshore accounts and that's why he won't release his tax returns.

Head in the sand are those that voted for Obama twice and believe Trump is different. Why not compare their backgrounds? You might be surprised to see that Trump has a lot in common with Obama, but Trump supporters refuse to see it. That's sad.

Keep your head in the sand and keep posting anti-Trump - garbage.

[ In Reply To ..]
If that amuses you or keeps you busy, good for you.

Trump obviously wants to succeed in everything he does.

Sometimes I think the anti-Trump people are just plain jealous of his success in business and in life.

Sad? I think your post is the sad one. You obviously(sm) - Little Lotta

have fallen for the liberal garbage. Egomaniac? Maybe he has respect for himself and what he has accomplished. Nothing wrong with that in my book. And where do you come up with he won't release his tax returns? As for Trump having anything in common with Obama, that's totally ludicrous.

Economists have said his plans will put the US....sm - VTMT

MORE deeply in debt while doing nothing concrete to improve the everyday lives of the common citizen. $25 billion at least for a wall, $180 billion to round up and deport 12 million people, increase military spending, keep the minimum wage where it is or dismantle it.....

Economists and you have opinions, nothing concrete - Did they opine on anyone else?
