Notable Quote: Theodore Roosevelt On Immigrants

TheodoreRoosevelt“In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here does in good faith become an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with every one 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 man’s becoming in very fact an American and nothing but an American.”

H/T Doug Urbanski; Original letter, Library of Congress.
