Every alien should become a citizen in order that he may vote
and hold office, and in all ways take an active part in developing,
building and maintaining the Government - national and local
- that protects him.
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 one sole loyalty and that is loyalty to the
American people. - Roosevelt. |
