As the Dutch say, "GET OUT OF MY COUNTRY IF YOU DON'T SPEAK MY LANGUAGE OR LEARN MY CULTURE!!"

First, I don't really agree with the liberal culture exhibited by the Dutch, but despite what I think, if I decide to move to the Netherlands, I need to take a test which forces me to understand and accept the Dutch culture and more importantly know their language. There is something refreshing about a country attempting to protect its sovereignty, liberal or conservative.

"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...

There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

--Theodore Roosevelt, 1919

I'd Like to thank LOU DOBBS on CNN for this quote. I don't particularly see eye to eye with him on most political issues, but on this I do.
