Thanksgiving?
As we in the USA celebrate Thanksgiving, how many of us give any thought to the Pilgrims being among the first illegal immigrants to what is now "our" country? Or that they might not have survived without the aid of the people who had already settled here.

History often gets selective and bent to please a personal perspective.
We "bought" Manhattan Island from a people that did not believe land can be owned by people.
For 200 years we called them Indians, but they are not from India. They were here first.
We won mostly with diseases we brought in with us.

Christopher Columbus was not really an "Explorer". He was a capitalist.
The real Thanksgiving-
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/27/opinion/thanksg...
"What is widely viewed as the first Thanksgiving was a three-day feast to which the Pilgrims had invited the local Wampanoag people as a celebration of the harvest.About 90 came, almost twice the number of Pilgrims. This is the first myth: that the first Thanksgiving was dominated by the Pilgrim and not the Native American. The Native Americans even provided the bulk of the food, according to the Manataka American Indian Council."

I gave thoughts to the pilgrims coming illegally but also to the horrible terrorist acts they committed against the Native Americans. They were dangerous illegals far more then any illegal immigrant now a days.

"...they might not have survived without the aid of the people who had already settled here."
Oh, please. The Native Americans were hostile to these newcomers. They frequently kidnapped or massacred settlers and stole their livestock and other items which the Pilgrims were forced to buy back or trade for. Many of the original Pilgrims went back to England because conditions here were too harsh. They were starving and dying of disease. They survived because they persevered. They survived in spite of the Native Americans, not because of them.

That's why my native American friend calls it "welfare day for the white man".

well first the native's didn't have any immigration laws so there were no " first illegal immigrants"
and it should make you understand that we need to control how many immigrants come to this country, so that it does not happen to us
