Were the pilgrims legal or illegal inmigrants ?
Answer:
It's a rethorical question. (to the other answerers)
The pilgrims were just people searching for a better life, much like everyone else.
at that time there were n0 laws on immigration now we live in a country of laws if you violate our laws you are criminal and subject to the punishment of that law.is that too hard to understand
If the "natives" had an immigration office I'm sure they would have.
The idea that only "Native American" have the right to oppose immigration to the United States ignores the concept of "nation." There was no such thing as the political entity known as the the United States until the Founders created it in 1776.
Furthermore, there are not grades of citizenship. One is either a citizen of this country, or one is not. We are not more or less citizens of the United States based on the number of generations preceding us on these shores.
And, particularly, we are not more or less citizens of this country based on our skin color or ethnicity.
Since everyone in the world has ancestors who immigrated from somewhere else, the immigration history of one's ancestors is probably not relevant to the formulation of wise public policy.
Illegal, the same as the rebels who fought the British during the War of Independence were terrorists.
The natives did not require visa or green cards, unlike immigrants to the countries that were since established in the new lands, inlcuding the US, Canada, and Mexico.
Of the three, Mexico has the most restrictive immigrant policies.
But then, many of the natives killed the immigrants that arrived. I don't think that's allowed anymore either.
Neither. There were no laws at that time.
They didn't have an immigration problem then and didn't care. They had tribes. and they didn't know they were citizens of anywhere. Like Leaf Erickson? or ying wang foo.
