Maybe we need another Teddy Roosevelt-type thinker in the White House.
Being an American in 1907 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

READER COMMENTS

To paraphrase Teddy Roosevelt..."Speak English and carry a big stick!"

Remember the politicians who will sell us out in the weeks to come. Democrats love the illegals!! Republican's can stop this if they don't turncoat and vote for amnesty!!! Google the voting records for this "comprehensive reform" AKA AMNESTY and see who votes for amnesty then REMEMBER in 2008 when you go to the polls to vote.

Do we want to elect a new president who voted for amnesty??????

The sponsers of this amnesty are:

George (knife in the back) Bush
Ted(dispicable) Kennedy
John(clueless) McCain

Ken Salazar WILL vote for amnesty...he is only interested in representing the LATINOS in Colorado. Make him a ONE term Senator and vote him OUT when he comes up for re-election.

I support President Bush and am a conservative Republican but on immigration he is totally wrong! We must use votes in all elections to remove those who favor illegal immigrants over citizens.
This new amnesty plan can be repealed by another congressional vote and from the complaints I hear not a lot of illegals will sign on so we can still deport them after the law is changed. But it will only change if all of us vote for candidates who won't roll over and play dead once they get to Washington. Let's find a new congress who will vote for Ameircans for a change.

If these prior comments represent the best and brightest hope for fighting the current immigration bill, it should be a slam dunk. Sorry.

Not to worry: I heard a Repub say this morning on Meet The Press that the Act contained language in the event of non-compliance to wit: The provision says we can ask them to leave. Me, your friendly deicide
