Yeah, it is funny that the people that came to this land for freedom ended up creating a government that restricts freedoms so much. Turns out the didn’t want to destroy the systems of control they ran from, they just wanted to be the ones in charge.
Yes, the first humans on the Americas showed up around 10-25 thousand years ago. But the first immigrants, by definition, would have been the first humans to show up after the First Humans to show up.
The first humans in the Americas would be what we call native or indigenous Americans today, but the first immigrants to the Americas, according to our history, would be the first Europeans to come here.
I am very much under the impression that the freedom the original pilgrims sought was the freedom to persecute each other, yes. Like, they left England because they were being stopped from doing that. They even went to one of the Nordic countries first, and were welcomed, but they didn’t like it there because they thought the locals were too liberal or something.

Many of the earliest immigrants to North America came because they were religious regressives that didn’t fit in with their countries of origin.
A mere 128 years after the first Europeans did and +13,000 years after the first humans.

The puritans were the maga of the time.
Poor piligrams. No one ever mentions them.
