Two Republican lawmakers worked together to create an “America First Caucus” that emphasizes “common respect for uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions” and infrastructure that “befits the progeny of European architecture,” Punchbowl News reported on Friday.
Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar collaborated to form the far-right caucus, whose aim is to “follow in President Trump’s footsteps, and potentially step on some toes and sacrifice sacred cows for the good of the American nation,” according to a document obtained by Punchbowl News.
The news outlet reported that other Trump loyalists on Capitol Hill, like Reps. Barry Moore and Louie Gohmert, have also agreed to join the caucus.
“America is a nation with a border, and a culture, strengthened by a common respect for uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions,” the document said in a section outlining its views on immigration.
It went on to say, without citing any evidence, 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.”
