When people say "Us" they're attempting to assume others aren't too self absorbed to not see themselves as brothers and sisters to other Americans and assuming they also want the best for those who are also in their country. It's a "we're all in this together" type thing for us with empathy and thought for others.

This works when there is an ethnic binding. People naturally look out for their own race. Just about every non-white race asserts this and whites for the most part have been trained to disbelieve in the existance of race. The "melting pot" influence on societies lowers civic engagement (helping, being involved, empathizing) levels across the board.
