Press One For English

With all the turmoil in this country about immigration and all the discussion regarding the same, this is an up-beat song to get it all back into perspective.  Press One For English is a good reminder to those coming in to become a part of THIS country.  My mother did.  She left her homeland, her language and her citizenship behind and became an American.

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

If we would just live up to what Theodore Roosevelt stated, we would not have the mess that we have today.  "Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all."

Seems pretty clear to me.  Wake up America!!!  This is MY country and these are the rules!  This is not just my opinion but also the opinion of President Theodore Roosevelt.
