Came across this interesting little quote from Teddy Roosevelt.

Image via Wikipedia"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
