Yes! Like I said the list is non-exhaustive but those two really should be on it. I'll also add "Nativist" since the left uses that to deride narrow-minded folks like me who believe that America is for fully-assimilated Americans. President Calvin Coolidge (a favorite of President Reagan) was attacked for being a nativist in his day when he imposed a strict immigration policy stating...

American institutions rest solely on good citizenship. They were created by people who had a background of self-government. New arrivals should be limited to our capacity to absorb them into the ranks of good citizenship. America must be kept American. For this purpose it is necessary to continue a policy of restricted immigration. It would be well to make such immigration of a selective nature with some inspection at the source, and based either on a prior census or upon the record of naturalization. Either method would insure the admission of those with the largest capacity and best intention of becoming citizens. Those who do not want to be partakers of the American spirit ought not to settle in America.
