'Assimilate or Leave' has Always Been U.S. Immigration Policy

American Nationalism is similarly inclusive of all who share our values, and it has zero tolerance for discrimination against any American's race, ethnicity, gender, religion, or sexual orientation.

Theodore Roosevelt's 1894 essay on "True Americanism" elaborated of recent immigrants, "An immense number of them have become completely Americanized, and these stand on exactly the same plane as the descendants of any Puritan, Cavalier, or Knickerbocker among us, and do their full and honorable share of the nation's work."

There are serious questions as to whether "The Squad" and other members of the extreme left wing of the Democratic Party share American values.

Let's start with Squad member Ayanna Pressley who said, "We don't need any more brown faces that don't want to be a brown voice. We don't need any more black faces that don't want to be a black voice." If a white member of Congress said, "We don't need any more white faces that don't want to be a white voice," we would wonder where he kept his sheet and hood, and we would probably find them.

Squad member Ilhan Omar added, "This is not going to be the country of white people." If a Caucasian member of Congress said, "This is not going to be the country of black people," we would expect and probably find a sheet and hood.

Theodore Roosevelt would have almost certainly opined that we don't need any faces of any color that don't want to be American voices.

The truth is instead that the Democratic Left has put into practice advice misattributed to Joseph Goebbels: "Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty." The DemLeft is itself the real purveyor of divisive racial identity politics that undermine American Nationalism; the force that has held our country together for more than 240 years and has made the United States the greatest nation on earth.
