Theodore Roosevelt on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN
"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 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 the American people."

Conservatives love quotes from the Jim Crow period (1876-1965)
That quote is from 1907:
- Women had no right to vote
- Native Americans were not allowed to be citizens of the US
- Lynching black people was considered: "Family entertainment"
I wouldn't say it's racist but judging from posts made by a certain few in the illegal immigration forum (and 4 or 5 posters come directly to mind) a lot of the illegal-alien sentiments are rooted in racism. That isn't to say all who oppose it are racist, but all racists oppose it. I'm for the overturning of NAFTA but I don't have any problems with Mexicans.
Not racist at all and those immigrants that do not agree should LEAVE!
