Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States of America, proclaims that any “immigrant who… assimilates…shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else… [but] this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American” (Roosevelt). The idea of Americanism is lost as the numbers of illegal and legal immigrants in the United States are at an all-time high, as are the number of migrants in the world. Still, millions of migrants want to enter the United States, however, many are uneducated and hail from Mexico or unstable Middle Eastern countries. The politicians and native population of the United States are divided on the problems and solutions regarding this mass migration problem.
