"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  



I am reading an interesting biography of him called "I Rose Like a Rocket" (alluding to his political career) - I can get the author's name if anyone is interested...Bill
