Native Americans are also descendants of immigrants technically

Everyone and every thing on land is an immigrant if you go back far enough because your super ancestors emigrated from the sea.

Every time white people try to prove that Native Americans weren’t here before they just end up finding more evidence that they were. I believe the most recent count is over 50,000 years in the LA area alone.

Yeah, it's been a while

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the term immigrant implies there's a rule of land and territory. Indians believed we all own the land.

Yeah looks like you're right

The term immigration was coined in the 17th century, referring to non-warlike population movements between the emerging nation states. When people cross national borders during their migration, they are called migrants or immigrants from the perspective of the destination country. In contrast, from the perspective of the country from which they leave, they are called emigrants or outmigrants.
