"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
Your thoughts?

in complete agreement. i think it's great that we open our doors to others that want 'a better way of life'...however, they need to embrace it and make it their own, not try and give us their prior way of life...

There is a wallpaper floating around on the interweb that has John Wayne saying "Now why in the hell do I have to press 1 for English" If I can find it, I will post it.
