"There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism in this country. There is room here for only 100 per cent Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else."

You bet. That's one of my favorites, not just on the immigration issue. I think TR had it right. The heck with Irish-Americans, African-Americans, Cuban-Americans. I only care if you are a true, 100% AMERICAN. Where is your loyalty? If it's to the future and well-being of this great country, you're an American. If your loyalty is divided, then why should anyone trust you?
