President Donald Trump loves to rave about restoring the United States to the metaphorical “good ol’ days,” and Uncle Sam has been enlisted to lead the charge. USCIS is now hiring ‘HOMELAND DEFENDERS,’” White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller wrote atop a retweet of the image. Historically, Uncle Sam was used to come after Chinese immigrants and, at other times, the grey-haired man has been employed to sway public opinion on wars the U.S. was entering. But ultimately, the patriotic icon has almost always been used as a means to create a common enemy: non-Americans. Daily Kos reached out to DHS for comment on their use of the imagery but did not hear back.
