TweetHe nails it on the head when he slips in, “they’ll [Immigrants] learn English” very quickly.
Really Obama? You’re assuming they’ll learn English? Why and how would you know that?
The elitism just bleeds from his soul as he speaks. He has obviously not been to an immigrant community. I know people who have been here a majority of their lifetime and have NEVER learned English.
Wanna know what it means to be an American?
Theodore Roosevelt said it best:
Theodore Roosevelt on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN
“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.”
Theodore Roosevelt 1907
