Each time I hear US politicians claiming the UK is being 'swamped' by a flood of immigrants, I am wryly amused that they have no idea about (or refuse think about) how the USA was founded.... by a swamping of immigrants who destroyed the native (indigenous) population - immigrants driven by religious persecution & often seeking to better their family's economic circumstances.

Still why would US politicians be concerned with their country's own history?

@ChrisMayLA6 They mean "brown" immigrants. Besides, white people aren't immigrants, they're "expats".

@NickSchwanck

An astute observation, now that you mention it.
