yes, many
No, at least not from a governmental position. The United States, unlike many countries, has never forcibly deported its Jewish citizens or put them in a social, political, or economic climate where leaving the United States was the only viable option. On the flip side, the United States has never incentivized (monetarily or politically) for American Jews to go to Israel. The only Jews that America assisted to get to Israel were a small minority of Holocaust survivors. Most Holocaust survivors who did get to Israel did so without American assistance. While there are many American Jews in Israel, this is more of a function of how many Jews in the world there are in total after the Holocaust destroyed much of European Jewry. There are larger Israeli communities of Russian, Moroccan, and Iraqi Jews than American Jews.
