"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
