    Many of the earliest immigrants to North America came because they were religious regressives that didn’t fit in with their countries of origin.

        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.
