A United America: One Flag, One Nation, One People

Teddy Roosevelt said it all when he made these remarks about illegals in the US. :

"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 anoutrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact 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, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...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 theAmerican people." - Theodore Roosevelt 1907

Too bad our elected officials do not have the intestinal fortitude to make a similar stand. Americans need to wake up and elect officials to Congress who are less interested in being an incumbent and more intent on serving the nation. When elected public officials cower to non-citizens, it is a sign of weakness on the part of the elected officials. Americans deserve better.
