"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

Great. A quote from one of the biggest sources of hot air in this past
century.

Sounded pretty cool to me.
