@DaveScarangella Fifty years can change the landscape for sure. But I’ll never forget our friends that served in RVN and didn’t come home. And those that did weren’t treated as the heroes they were. Many of these guys are still with us.
DHS cut this quote off one sentence early. Here’s how Roosevelt actually finished the thought, same speech, 1915:
“But if he is heartily and singly loyal to this Republic, then no matter where he was born, he is just as good an American as any one else.”
He also said he wasn’t talking about naturalized citizens (“some of the very best Americans I have ever known”) and that “any discrimination against aliens is a wrong.”
Teddy Roosevelt’s descendants asked Congress to protect his legacy. Trump’s admin answered by perverting TR’s words to push their anti-immigrant agenda.
