In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith

“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

this is the way it used to be , when you became an American or let me clarify that when you became a US citizen you were expected to give all your royalties to the USA you are no longer Chinese, Italian, East Indian, are Japanese you were an American citizen. That's why we were called the great mixing pot we welcome in all legal immigrants, I'm not saying it was easy on the the folks coming in we although that the Irish and the Italians just to name a few were treated like second-class citizens when they first came here but that didn't stop them from being the best citizens they could be.I Have a friend  about the same age as I am her parents immigrated from Japan many years ago. I assumed that she could speak Japanese as well as English to my surprise she tell me she could not speak a word of Japanese. When she was born her parents taught her only English when she asked why they had never taught her Japanese simple explanation was we're no longer Japanese we are now Americans and we speak American. That's the way it should be but unfortunately in the last decade or so we seem to have lost them because the mixing pot mentality. You see and hear more and more people speaking and acting like the country they immigrated from and unfortunately this has a separating effect on people in general. I truly believe that we need to go back to the old mixing pot days and all become one country and one people
