[–] Yuropa ago  (edited ago)

The original Europeans who came to North America were not "immigrants". Immigrants are people who move from their country of birth to a new country. When the original Europeans arrived here, there was no "country". It was a nameless continent, sparsely inhabited by small tribes of stone-age, hunter gatherers.

The original Europeans built a nation in a wilderness. They were not immigrants. They were explorers. They were settlers. They were conquerors.
