A Green Card in Every Pot by Ann Coulter - HUMAN EVENTS

"Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis, immigrant and first Jewish member of the Supreme Court, said that Americanization required that the immigrant adopt 'the clothes, the manners and the customs generally prevailing here' and that he adopt 'the English language as the common medium of speech.'

But, Brandeis said, this is only part of it. '(W)e properly demand of the immigrant even more than this -- he must be brought into complete harmony with our ideals and aspirations and cooperate with us for their attainment. Only when this has been done will he possess the national consciousness of an American.'

Or as George Bush would call it, 'empty rhetoric.' And as Linda Chavez would call it, 'racist.'"
