I wonder what Ms Greene and Mr Gosar understand by "Anglo-Saxon political traditions" and how they consider that "mass immigration was putting the “unique identity” of the U.S. at risk."
From the article: https://apnews.com/article/politics-...0ed92b9ef2ce03
"The document aims some of its toughest language at immigration. President Joe Biden’s administration has struggled to handle large numbers of migrants at the Southwest border and has had little success winning legislation in Congress.
“America is a nation with a border, and a culture, strengthened by a common respect for uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions,” the paper says. “History has shown that societal trust and political unity are threatened when foreign citizens are imported en-masse into a country.”
Nobody with even a twelve year old's understanding of the history of continental America could believe such nonsense.
The AP article continues that the document "adds that “the long-term existential future of America as a unique country with a unique culture and a unique identity being put at unnecessary risk is something our leaders” cannot ignore."
In what respect is the USA's culture "unique"?
It is a confection of ideas and traditions brought initially by the Europeans who first established colonies on the eastern and western seaboards, and later added to by immigrants from all over the world. In the last 120 years or so and certainly certainly since the 1950s, it has been widely embellished by mass advertising, and even, on occasion, invented. Or is an invented culture what Ms Greene and Mr Gosar and their ilk consider to be "unique" about the USA?
Nor can the delicious irony of Mr Gaetz' endorsing the America First Caucus cannot be lost on anyone with a sense of humour.
"Gaetz tweeted: “I’m proud to join @mtgreenee in the #AmericaFirst Caucus. We will end wars, stop illegal immigration & promote trade that is fair to American workers.” Gaetz is facing a federal investigation for sex trafficking accusations, according to people who have described the probe on condition of anonymity."
