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."

That's the most retarded thing I've read all day...you probably have about as good of an idea of what's going on as the kids they interviewed on the news a few nights back, that had no idea what was goin on other than 'We got out of school!'

Hmmmm Buck I know your true identity...read up on Roosevelt..and the president isnt diverting attention..the Congress is proposing this legislation...ok here I go...there is a group called La Raza "the race" that wants to bring all land back from Cali, colorado, texas to mexico and rejoin it all...they want all other races out...these groups are now at University of Houston campuses...why they want it to go back to mexico in the first place is astounding..since all the immigrants here are running from there...also why would mexico's governemt be handing out pamphlets urging immigrants to come here and how to avoid the law...interesting because all the money feeds into the mexican government....READ please...

See if you studied when you did have time you would realize that.by law you have the right to a fair and impartial jury...you have the right to appeal...no sentence can be to harsh...people bitch and complain but if people can get away with murder why cant you get away with something as simple as evading a felony..you wanna know why? because they either read or had someone get the info for them

I dont see them doing anything like this for us....They are nothing like us aj....We are your average americans they arent....I mean they dont see the things we see they dont talk to the people we talk to....Although i will say it is by far the best system out there. I still feel as though it has its flaws...Everything is about money and thats the bottom line.

Godsuki :nod: :icon_thum . Inform yourself not just what you see and hear from the idiot box. Absorb info from all directions and come to your own conclusion not what other people lead you to believe.
