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?

Oh, it's worse than that: US politicians are REWRITING the history, to sanitize it of the parts they do not wish to acknowledge.

The Bunker Hill Monument in Boston, for example, is having all "woke" elements forcibly removed, such as an acknowledgement of slavery, Native Americans, or immigrants.

NPS orders removal of 'woke' quotes from Bunker Hill Monument

Federal officials termed the removals of the three quotes “a routine exhibit refresh.”
