America First Caucus promotes U.S. as ‘uniquely Anglo-Saxon,’ calls for pause on immigration
By Colby Itkowitz Hard-right Republicans in the House are forming an “America First Caucus” that promotes nativist policies outlined in materials obtained by Punchbowl News. Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) and Paul A. Gosar (Ariz.) are reportedly behind it, with Reps. Barry Moore (Ala.) and Louie Gohmert (Tex.) signed on as early members. Greene’s spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The seven-page document lays out policy positions for the caucus that include nativist language and perpetuate the falsehood that there was widespread fraud and corruption in the 2020 election. The group says it is advancing former president Donald Trump’s legacy, which means stepping “on some toes” and sacrificing “sacred cows for the good of the American nation.” In a section on immigration, it describes the United States as a place with “uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions” and argues that “societal trust and political unity are threatened when foreign citizens are imported en-masse into a country, particularly without institutional support for assimilation and an expansive welfare state to bail them out should they fail to contribute positively to the country.” The document also calls for a pause on all immigration. “These pauses have been absolutely essential in assimilating the new arrivals and weeding out those who could not or refused to abandon their old loyalties and plunge head-first into mainstream American society,” the document says. On infrastructure, it calls for the building of roads, bridges and buildings that reflect “the architectural, engineering and aesthetic value that befits the progeny of European architecture, whereby public infrastructure must be utilitarian as well as stunningly, classically beautiful, befitting a world power and source of freedom.” The caucus criticizes U.S. foreign aid, coronavirus restrictions — “The America First Caucus will work to make sure we do not overreact to a pandemic in this same way again.” — and education that “is actively hostile to the civic and cultural assimilation necessary for a strong nation.” Responding to Greene and Gosar, Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) tweeted: “As an immigrant, I served on active duty in the US military to defend your right to say stupid stuff. What makes America great is that we don’t judge you based on bloodline, we look at your character.” Lieu said they could take their nativist rhetoric and “shove it.” ---- https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...NGRPYI6FBNY2GE https://punchbowl.news/wp-content/up...rm-FINAL-2.pdf |

You know what is an "anglo/saxon" political tradition? Rape and pillage. Murder, slavery, and horror.

I honestly thought "common respect for uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions" was some kind of joke, or thing from The Onion.
No. It really was there. Today's GOP.

This is exactly what the indigenous peoples were thinking back in the 16th century I actually had to look up the definition of indigenous: "originating or occurring naturally in a particular place; native." Quote:
So the America First Caucus wants European architecture? You are not in Europe folks, stop stealing our shit! When you google for Anglo-Saxon, this is the result: Quote:
they should move back to their own country, which they probably can't anymore because of brexit

Marjorie Taylor Greene scraps planned launch of controversial 'America First' caucus amid blowback from GOP
Incidentally, "Embattled GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, who is under federal investigation over allegations involving sex trafficking and prostitution, tweeted Friday, 'I'm proud to join @mtgreenee in the #AmericaFirst Caucus.'" Shocking...

Why don't they just call it what it really is: The Trump Caucus?

Today he confirmed that he voted for Trump in 2020. So all of his "wisdom" amounts to nothing.
