Every American citizen needs to read this!
Teddy had it so right! Not Kennedy, but Roosevelt!
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
I believe that anyone has the rights and liberties of this country as one of its citizens. I fear that we have not guarded our generosity as much as our freedom. American is just that....AMERICA! If you want to be one, here are the rules
and its taxes. Its much like every other club...if you cannot pay the dues or keep the rules; well asta la vista. Things have gotten out of hand...loose borders promote loitors....and YES! We as "Americans" will still do the jobs "nobody wants" like we always have long before now.I am sure this sounds harsh to somebody. Here's the plus...it also protects immigrant rights by dissuading American employers from taking financial and social advantage of "people hiding out, trying to make a buck." My last quip, "if you gonna be a citizen, the language is e-n-g-l-i-s-h! I am fine with multilingual, polylingual and antilingual;but antiengual is a "no no".
Why are the street signs in 2 languages?
Why does my bank ask me english or spanish?
Why isnt anything in Japanese, Chinese or even German?
Have we been taken advantage of or is someone trying to sell us something we didn't buy?
That's the way I see it and that's the way it outta be.

Now that is great....
Go Teddy
First off I respect everyone's point of view, but who are we to say they should stay or they should go. Think about it will you do the work that they do? Will you clean toilets? Will you pick fruits and vegetables in hot weather? I didn't think so! I think that if they have made their life here and haven't broken any law then let them be, but yes there are those that have broken the law serveral times and I agree those are the one's that should go back. But keep in mind that there are some AMERICAN'S that break the law and some even have killed etc. why don't we do something with them instead they sit in a jail cell and use our tax dollars to live a really nice life. Granted they don't have there freedom but they have education which costs us money, they have internet etc.why don't we look at things like that instead everyone looks at those who aren't White or don't speak English and try to make them feel like criminals, I don't get it the Home of the Fee...yeah someone is lying to us!!!
