President Theodore Roosevelt on Immigration

[knightschwartz]

he would've been appaled by the third world tidal wave.

[artacania]

Ok America ... you get this man back for i say .. 1 presidential term and everyone wants te be an American ...

[cfslagle]

A must read!

[grapefruitm00n]

One of the last great presidents we had. Haven't had an honest guy in there since...um

[Willstruth]

The illegal aliens in this country have so far violated every single one of these principles as they wave their Mexican flags in our streets,refuse to assimilate and merely transplant their own culture into our country.Press one for english!

[takashin123]

ok you S.O.B I understand your hate, but specify which kind of Illegal aliens you hate, Mexicans, Chinese, Irish, Canadians, Argentinians ETC..

[Willstruth]

I don't hate anyone! However, I've developed a strong dislike for foreign illegal invaders whom break this nation's laws and openly disrespect it's citizens while sucking the welfare coffers dry and spewing out anchor babies one after the other just for the benefits to be derived therefrom.

Of course I would'nt expect someone living in Antarctica and so very far removed from the realities of the real world to be knowing their ass from a hole in the ground!

[jefeisdguard]

The 'us' are simply, we Americans. When we say 'us', it doesnt include any illegal immigrant or person NOT a U.S. citizen.

The United States is NOT about the world body but about 50 states, in a specific area, on a continent, on this planet that serves freedom & the right to pursue life liberty & happiness to each of its citizens.

That said, all citizens should honor the symbol of liberty, the flag. Nationalize english. English already is the national language in 33 countries, except ours

[JoeMomma2002]

dsh is absolutely rigt, YOU CANNOT ASSIMILATE and had any of you imbecile Americans known any shred of YOUR own history! You would know that this is exaclty was Roosevelt alludes too.

He wants, one culture, one race, and he expressed this in several speeches. He spoke on behalf of nativist movements in America against Irish/German/Italian immigration.

He spoke against Indian/Black assimilation. Roosevelt knew that a country of divided cultures/race CANNOT stand least survive for very long

[NoBamaYoMamma]

Hey, JoeMomma2002, this imbecilc American say... STFU, Asswipe!

[JoeMomma2002]

Shows the lack of context of which most American don't understand.

President Roosevelt was not speaking about ILLEGAl or LEGAL immigration, anyone who thinks that is summarily wrong.

He wasn't even talking about immigration to begin with. Explicitly Roosevelt was discussing the idea or notion of "melting pot". An idea he despised.

Roosevelt is specifically speaking about a country of divided cultures that cannot exist. What he really means is there can only be one race in one country.

[dsh1224]

I have to disagree with this. The great thing about America is that you can't assimilate to "us" because there is no "us."

America the melting pot is the one I like the best. The one that instead of homogeniziing it incorporates to better the whole.

[wyattmcintyre]

Terrific repost my friend, glad to see you are getting your stuff back up

[lookhearseee]

Thanks wyatt, I am not sure where to continue, but I am sure it will all fall into place. Best regards friend.

[TerraFirma369]

I love it! Not once did I see mention of the "white race", or for that matter, any race. Nationalism is far different than racism, and far less insidious. This is America, and we speak American English here as the language of the land. Period. For those who wish to change us to become more like them, I say we are just as determined, if not more so, to be who we are and not be ashamed of it. Race isn't the issue, immigrating LEGALLY is. Canadians do it legally all the time, why can't everyone?

[tronn6910]

How the fuck can you find something that wasn't lost dumb-ass back to your fucking suburban cave's.,the rule of the white race is over,the indiginous race's of the earth are rising up to their former glory;before the white race poisoned the earth with racism,and warfare etc disguised as democracy and equality.,your as pathetic as that hypocritical jew race;comitting self-genocide disguised as the holocaust sleeping in the same bed of hypocracy.

[captainquirk24]

I don't want to sound like a racist asshole tronn, but your wrong. The white man controls America, as well as many other great countries. Shit, the white, male, American citizen is the ENVY of the world.

[tronn6910]

I appreciate your mannerism and cander.,while it is true that white's control america and many other great countries the way that they attained that control leave's much to be desired,and i love america and what its original intention of greatness that our forefathers had intended in theory, but in practice is another thing;We've scandered our greatness with our elitist/racist etc philosophy and projected it falsely on the world the illusion of complacdency and equality nothing could be further.

[captainquirk24]

I completely agree with you.

[TerraFirma369]

Point blank - Division NEVER brings unity. Peace will not be found by those who blame races for the worlds problems. The only path to peace is through finding common ground amongst all races. As far as immigration, I don't care where you come from, do it legally and I have no problems with you. Peace.

[captainquirk24]

You and me are on the same page completely 100%. I was just pointing shit out. You are right.

[takashin123]

Exactly, Humans are self-destructive beings your path to peace will never be accomplished until every human being has disappeared from the face of this earth, by our own actions

[starletdempsy]

@takashin123 your are suicidal. You need help my friend.

[28hertz]

Kick-ass. Thanks for posting this response to The Aztec Defense.

[lookhearseee]

Thanks for letting me attach it. Regards!

[tronn6910]

Damn it must suck being you.,i feel for you though;cause you don't have a clue...To quote the greatest comedian of our time Doug Standhope: "Heritage and Tradition.,It's Dead People's Baggage..Quit Carrying It"

[Emeraldguard4RonPaul]

***** Obama supporter Jimmy Carter gave away his greatest accomplishment

[marklincoln]

Question to all the socialist: If you hate America and think it is an inherently bad, why

do you stay? If you think socialism is so great then why don't you go to Canada or Europe where they're already living the dream?

If you feel like every where else is better then why are you still here as we have no law keeping you here? Could it be that you are just to lazy to even migrate? Much easier I suppose to bitch and piss and vote for socialist Candidates:Change,change,chang­e

[tronn6910]

This country has been a leech of people like me for over 400+yrs.,And no one who tell's the truth should ever be labeled a hypocrit.,what happen to all that freedom of speech this country is suppoesed to be famous for;i guess its used only when convenient.,now that's hypocritical.

[marklincoln]

So basically what you're saying tronn is that we don't have a right or the authority to establish immigration laws? That any one who wants to come here can by what ever means they

feel like? That we are not a sovereign nation and that others should dictate our policies? Oh but the laws and freedoms that we established are handy crutches when you choose

to selectively cite them such as the "first ammendment" but they only apply to you or who ever else hates this country.

[lookhearseee]

Truth tronn? You are delusional if you think you are speaking the truth. What are you babbling about now, you got to express yourself freely, no one censored you, just don't expect me to just sit back and accept your hand wring pap. You are a foul mouthed bigot who either has multiple accounts or a bunch or cowardly friends to "thumbs up" your verbal diarhea.

[icetrout2]

Stoneager69 - go blow a toad.The white race found this continent way before your dumb-ass people walked here.LOFL

[tronn6910]

Because you can't spell justice without the word (JUST).,as in what's fair and just for everybody past or present.,InCoincidental is why i believe our present exsistence is so unbalanced too many unresolved past indiscressions.

[tronn6910]

Uh yeah i know there wasn't any illegal immigration law in the 1700's HELLO...i know that the spanish slaughtered native american's HELLO..it wasn't just the spanish though there were some white's etc.,HELLO think Mcfly think,My point was this country's true origin's lies in so-called illegal immigrant's bloodline's.,There are race's more qualified to interpret what the real definition of what 'ILLEGAL immigration'should mean instead of ROOSEVELT got it HELLO...

[marklincoln]

What the hell does what happened 300 years ago

have to do with current immigration policy? Seeing as none of your victums are still alive

it entitles illegal aliens to exactly jack! Besides that what does what happened here have

to do with people comming from other countries

? We didn't establish south america and we are

not responsible for their economic situation

[doughborne]

Right on, Keep up the Fire ! Pro Patria doughboy

[tronn6910]

Oh.,so what your saying is typically his ancestorally trail began in roughly the 1700's.,ah that's interesting;how far back do you suppose those slaughtered native american's blood trail's go back,i'm no geneologist.,but i would imagine a far some back than the Roosevelt's.,there's your illegal immigrant theory out the window.

[lookhearseee]

No. Good grief you are immature and dumb. There was no immigration policy in the 1700's. Slaughter of the Indians? I am 1/8 Cherokee. The Spanish slaughtered the natives. Many died from disease and wars with other tribes. My great grandmother was a native slave for another native tribe until she was liberated by other natives. Native Americans are part of the American society as it is today. I can tell you are no genealogist or mentally savvy.

[lookhearseee]

btw, it wasn't my illegal immigrant theory, it was Roosevelts policy! Why would a person like you continue to live in a country you obviously hate so much? You are a huge hypocrite and a leech, biting the hand that feeds you.

[gunnyranger2]

Why are you trying to bring up the past and use it pertaining to our situation today?It makes no sense whatsoever.Abide by the laws we have set for 2008!

[tronn6910]

Wasn't Teddy Roosevelt technically an illegal immigrant when him and ancestor's first arrived in native america.

[lookhearseee]

No, he was born in New

York, in the mid 1800's, a 100 years after his ancestors came.

[lookhearseee]

Thanks Star, it was you who inspired this vid, and suggested the great music!

[marklincoln]

This is the epidimy of what it is to be an American or to become one! The multicultural movement seeks to undermine our national pride

and our cohesiveness. Going hand in hand with this is the socialistic ideas that come here with mass migration without assimulation

[lookhearseee]

Well said!
