"There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all. ... The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic. ... There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else."
Im not saying that we should deport all mexicans etc... just the ones that are here illegally... I think its unfair to the mexicans who went through the process of getting a greencard and citizenship that others can just come over and get all of the same benefits. The ones who waited in line and went through the process are american, unlike the ones who just jumped the border, and are here, then say that they have the right to protest due to the right to free speecha dn the right to assembly, yet they aren't citizens, thus have no rights... and its annoying to see them say that they should be citizens, that they're americans, too, etc while they're waving a mexican flag
