"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." |
