But you said there is no longer an England. Not as a separate country, sure. But as you put it it's like saying there's no longer a Georgia or Texas.

I'm Scots-Irish/Cherokee. Love it when people say Scotch-Irish.
Scotland has it's own parliament. It was a bone the British threw them to squelch independence talk.

Didn't say it was independent.

"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 o friend 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."

One of the best presidential quotes on immigration. Holds up very well to anyone able to think rationally.
OK, where's DIDO and what have you done with him?!

I am and have always been pro immigration for people who want to come here and be a part of the American dream. That does not include people whose allegiances lie with their country of origin.

Think rationally about this: English was not and never intended to be the "one language here". Poor Teddy couldn't help it

If you actually do 2 minutes of research into the quote you'll see that he is explaining from an economic perspective the necessity of learning the English language in order to thrive here.
I know Democrats like you want to keep minorites in chains and dependent on the government though, so I'm not surprised you support keeping immigrants ignorant and unable to compete in the job market.

But but it's okay to discriminate based upon language spoken. Let me guess, there is only one religion allowed, too...and so on we could go..

your discomfort and personal attack shows how frail the lingua franca argument is.

Well yeah, calling me a Democrat was pretty low. As least you didn't tell me the U.S.,was a Christian nation as well as English only speaking. I bet your boy Teddy would
