Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.
'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
Coming here soon folks. Very, very soon! And the mind boggling irony is the silence of the FEMINAZIS here in the West.

Teddy was another progressive scumbag who also supported eugenics
Not coming soon, it has already started, thanks president Oh-Bum-Ah.
Why is he treated as a hero by many conservatives?
Facts:
1) Except in the very odd/exceptional election year of 1964, the Dems havent cracked 50% of the whites in a Presidential election since 1932.
2) Once the 64 election was over, the Dems understood that they would never win another Presidential election again unless the Republicans REALLY screwed up...or unless they changed the electorate in a dramatic way.
3) The Dems, courtesy of Bobby Kennedy who wrote the law, and Teddy Kennedy who pushed it in the Senate, passed the 1965 Immigration Act. That law dramatically reduced immigration from our then-traditional large sources of immigrants - England, Ireland, Holland, Germany, etc. - and replaced them with vast numbers of Turd Worlders...whom everyone knows vote around 80% for Dems, and will continue to do so for the rest of their lives, as new immigrants have traditionally done.
4) As a result of the 65 Act, and due to the Dems outright lying in 86 regarding an effective (or any) fence, there are now probably 30 - 40 million illegals in this nation. Note that the (probably low-ball) figure in 2005 was 11 million...we have 2-3 million come in every year, so simple math says that the number is actually somewhere between 31 and 41 million). If any substantial portion of these people ever become citizens, then the Dems will have accomplished a complete shift of the electorate, and will be virtually invincible on the national level. Every state will become like California, both politically and economically - which is to say, overwhelming Dem and broke. But at least if you dont like California now, you can leave for a better place without much trouble - where are you going to go if EVERY state is like that?
5) Every Republican, and every Conservative voter MUST UNDERSTAND that if such a state of affairs comes to be, NO OTHER ISSUE WILL MATTER AT ALL, because we will ALWAYS AND FOREVER lose on those issues. Immigration is THE issue of this election, and this election is as critical as the 1860 election was - and for the same reason, because it will determine whether this nation continues on as it has existed in the past, or becomes a new and unrecognizable entity that simply occupies the same geographic territory.
Please wake up, and help others to do so by sending them this post (or recommending Adios America to them). It really is THAT important.
TR did get a few things right but you're on target. He was a big government pusher who grabbed land to create the Nationalized Parks which was NOT a good idea regardless of the Ken Burns leftist propaganda. The acres consumed by that socialist action would be far better today in the hands of private enterprise.
May be then, my instincts were correct, which is to support the only candidate using the word “DEPORT” in reference to illegals. He also keeps repeating, that legal immigration should be based on skills instead of sponsored by relatives.
When Irish, Italians and Poles arrived in 1907, all they asked for was the chance to be treated equally. They learned English, pledged allegiance to the USA, and they assimilated. Teddy was absolutely correct.
Zackly!
But not to be outdone by his cousin FDR who married his cousin and had an open, adulterous relationship with another cousin of his.
He started out good, but he definitely fell into being an insane “progressive” real quick after winning a 2nd term.
To people that look closely, you can see that he was two completely different people in his life to the point where TR 1900 and TR 1912 would have likely hated each other. And both the left and right can lay claim to the TR that best supports their side.
My first in-laws were from Sweden, and they always spoke English in the house, at least every time I was around. Which I appreciated because I could not understand Swedish.
My own mother tongue is Marathi, but now as a citizen of USA, I strongly believe only one national language is critical to keep the country unified.
Now..immigration assimilation is bad ..immigrations point is to overwhelm to fracture to destroy..Cloward-Piven
Good to know. Thanks.
In Canada we have immigrants who sponsor their elderly parents into the country who then contribute nothing but fill up our “free” hospitals.
The non-white ones usually vote liberal (or worse) just like they do in every other white country.
We have the same thing here in the US.. I see it ALL the time.
They bring their decrepit parents and dump them onto the back of the tax payers..
Useless eaters.!
I think it was Victor Davis Hanson who aptly coined the phrase “Hyphenated-Americans have hyphenated-loyalties.”
It’s one thing to note your ancestry. It’s another thing to be a hyphenated American.
