You raise the flag but have little respect for it!
We are a nation of immigrants and most did not speak english. In Wisconsin we taught school in German, in NYC we taught school in a variety of languages including Yiddish, Italian, German, Polish, etc,
I suggest you read the following and reflect on your narrow views of our great country!
The New Colossus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Emma Lazarus poem at the foot of the Statue of Liberty.
