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.

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.
