I think this is one email that needs to be forwarded until every American with a computer receives it.

The year is 1907, one hundred and 2 years ago.

READ PRINT UNDER PICTURE!



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

Every American citizen needs to read this!

As an outsider looking in, people are much more assimilated in the States compared to Europe. There are discrimination laws in the States and many incentives to become part of the community. Native born Americans from immigrant families have every opportunity available to succeed. In Europe, and specifically in Germany, immigrants don't really have the same rights or opportunities.

Open discrimination is rampant. I remember looking for an apartment about ten years ago. Even in the newspaper it would state "No foreigners need to apply." Try getting away with that in the States.
