Kyle,

I agree with Rob Port's post where he quoted Teddy Roosevelt on this topic.

Quote
Rob Port is reminded of Teddy Roosevelt's words:

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. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact 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, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...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.

America is called the "melting pot" where all races, religions, and ethnic backgrounds are welcomed. However, this uprising demonstrates that we are not melting or becoming a united people. IMO there is no room for people (illegal or not) to come here and dishonor our flag the way these students are doing. Teddy Roosevelt got it right!
