Shouldn't members of Congress love America first? Not if you're a Democrat. | Opinion
Opinion by Ingrid Jacques, USA TODAY • 16h
Like most Americans, my ancestors immigrated to the United States to make a better life for themselves and their future families. Six out of eight of my great-grandparents came from Norway. I grew up very aware of that heritage, with some Norwegian traditions passed down through the generations.
Yet, neither my parents – nor my grandparents, who were first-generation Americans – have ever referred to themselves as Norwegian Americans. They are Americans. And they’re proud of it.
This country really is a melting pot of immigrants from all over the world, and that’s part of what makes America unlike any other on earth. The mutual understanding that America is a land of opportunity and that it’s an honor to call it home is what binds citizens together, even if our ancestors came from diverse parts of the globe.

Of all Americans, you’d think members of Congress would be the first to embrace utmost allegiance to their country. For some Democrats, that’s not the case.
