Yes. Also of course in the US there's a slightly different relationship between peoples'--our whole history has been different groups keeping other groups out. It's only relatively recently anybody considered embracing the "melting pot" idea.
Which is probably why the "patriot" thing isn't quite so identified only with "keeping America America" the way it is with "keeping Britain British" (not that it can't also include that). But there's it's own version of it.
