There is nothing in this country's constitution or immigration policy etc that would commit anyone to the absurd and counterintuitive position set forth in the quote attributed to Teddy Roosevelt above.
I mean just talk to any immigrant - and the sillyness of the Roosevelt quote will be clear. That is just not how it is.

What? Canada is more Liberal! I think you NEED to re-read his quote and open your mind!!!! I'm married basically to an immigrant! And the way I read it is anyone that comes here and becomes a Citizen has the same rights as anyone born here based on the fact that his LOYALTY is with the USA. Which I don't 100% agree with but that's a different argument....
While you're at it learn how to spell!
themsleves=themselves
Sillyness=Silliness
