Supply and demand determines value. Over abundance leads to low value or in this case low wages. Lack of enforcing immigration rules and limits leads to an over abundance of labor which decreases wages. The wage stagnation Democrats complain about is directly caused by illegal immigration.

All the earliest know European inhabitants were Spanish. In 1566, Martín de Argüelles was born in Saint Augustine, the first birth of a child of European ancestry recorded in what is now the continental United States, 21 years before the English settlement at Roanoke Island in Virginia Colony, and 42 years before the successful settlements of Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Jamestown, Virginia.

I do not understand why people would flee their country go to another country for a better life... so they must have thought America was better than their original place of birth . So why do so many immigrant people whether here legally or illegal .Once here refuse to to embrace America with all of their hearts. I'm not saying that they need to forget their heritage but to embrace America to want to assimilate with the people of the country you thought was better than the one they left . why would they rather replicate a community exactly like the one the left ... why come here and try to reproduce the exact same circumstances they left from . why not just stay in there country and work together to make it a better place to live .America was not made by peaceable means a lot of blood and lives were lost to make this nation that so many people want to live in . if American citizens can do it so can other people in other countries do what it takes to make their country's equally as great as the United State's of America. or who knows an even better place .
***** I think deporting all illegals would be so stupid first just run through a background check if they haven't raped or killed anyone they get to stay and proof their citizens what that would do is all the businesses that are hiring illegals would be forced to pay a fair wage or at least the minimum because all that cheap labor they had was due to the fact of the illegals or undocumented if you like had no other recourse but to accept the lesser wage if they were demanding fair wage or at least minimum I think that would drive our economy straight through the roof just my thought I live right here on the border and I really honestly don't see a lot of assimilation I dunno if any of Hispanic friends that do assimilate that are stimulated but I also see a lot that do not wish to do so I'm sure maybe it's because a lot of Americans white Americans don't make him feel at home and maybe the fact that they just don't want to be at home I'm sure bigger brains out there would have the answers
+Alex Van Doren a lot of people want the borders secure how about this we have so many millions and millions of dollars in aid to foreign countries what if we offered Mexican generals a few million dollars every year to keep illegals coming over the border. I have a feeling that when the Mexican government and the Mexican generals see that their pockets are being filled by enforcing the borders I bet that would stop the flow of illegal undocumented people across the border no need for walls just making incentive for the Mexican side to stop the flow I have they say money talks
Well said, that's why the Irish are so successful over here, 35 million claim Irish ancestry, because of their ability to assimilate effortlessly into the weave and fabric of American life.
Nobody cares, insecure Spaniarrd. It didn't lead to anything anyway.The English settlements are what ended up making a differencce to the culture.Besiides, Spain had only existed since 1492, getting lucky by borrowing some of the scientific discoveries of the arabic moors, who dominated them for 800 years. England had been around since 932, in an unbroken timeline
After seeing this video, America was, is and will be a nation of Immigrants, if they have a genuine desire to be an American. Immigrants were America's engine and they still are. God bless America. ☺
Correction: The first successful colony in what today is the continental United States was established by Spain in 1565 in St. Augustine, Florida, NOT in 1607 in Jamestown, Virginia. Plus, Jamestown was not very successful, as it was abandoned in 1699. For that reason, Jamestown doesn't even qualify as the second-oldest successful colony: that title goes to Santa Fe, New Mexico (1607). The third-oldest colony is today called Hampton, Virginia (1610). As for your emphasis on the negative aspects of Columbus and the Spanish, other Europeans (e.g., the British, the French and the Dutch) brought death and destruction to the native people of America, too.
Cajuns are not the descendants of the French who came to Louisiana from France. Their ancestors came from Nova Scotia and settled in rural areas in southern Louisiana, not New Orleans.
Fascinating look into our immigration history. Gives a greater perspective on current events in 2018. A lot can happen in three short years. This video could seriously use an update.
The Native Americans were not a bunch of peace loving hippies. The majority were constantly at war with each other and often struggling to survive. It is a sad note in Americas history, but it was not as depicted in the video. I think the first model for a democratic society sprang from this sadness
+CMeads We know that whites caused a lot of problems. But lets not hide some of the information. The volatile environment in the America regions (hundreds of years ago) existed before the Europeans came. Tribes fought Tribes. Some Indians were peaceful. Just as some Whites were/are peaceful. Also the Indians were not always good stewards of the land. The would set the forest on fire because of boredom. They stampeded Buffalo herds off cliffs. Leaving the meat to rot. They over fished coastal areas causing extinction of species. Some of my information came from the University of Colorado and other universities studies on Indians. Indians are just like every culture on the planet. Some things great. Something not so good.
Natives set the forest on fire as a means of burning bacteria around an oak tree so the oak tree doesn’t die from disease. Not out of boredom. Some natives were brutal. Most just wanted to not have all of their land taken away. And most native groups were bullied into horrible reservations. The natives were bullied even when they left the reservations. And I should clarify that when I mean bully they would slaughter all of them with no warning even if they surrendered.
My name is Amir Khaksar, a permanent resident of Canada. For years, my family has been separated across international borders. My son and mother reside in the USA while my daughter and her American citizen husband are stuck in Iran, awaiting the approval of her green card application. This process has taken an unjustifiably long time with no response or explanation from the U.S embassy in Turkey.
Remove the quotation marks from Native in the video description. Natives ARE indigenous. You are expressing racist and incorrect views by claiming that Natives are not indigenous. Natives are not the same as colonizers. You are trying to diminish the genocide of colonizers. Remove the quotation marks.
The truth of the first settlers is: They were people who wanted freedom of religion. They became farmers and friends of the indigenous people. British government learned of the rich soil and multitude of land and brought in soldiers and (what they deemed leaders) to take over and rule. That was when the greed began. They ended up surpressing the settlers to do the famr work and work the British plantations while the British people flourished from the crops. When cotton and tobacco became a huge economic growth, the British acquired tremendously large plantations. That was when the British brought the African slaves to the United States. If you research how our government formed, you would understand that the founding forefathers (settlers) were the conservatives fighting to free themselves from the British governing and free slavery. The liberals were the British fighting to keep their slavery and rein over the people. This is where Republican and Democratic originates. Since the British (Democrats) lost the civil war, within that same year they established the first secret society (KKK). Founding forefathers were settlers that were not out to manipulate the natives of the land. European British government brought greed and corruption. Even after the civil war the Democrats have continued with their greed. This is why corruption remains in our government. This is why the Declaration of the Constitution was established. To protect the people of the land from government. Immigration is what made this country what it is. But people seem to forget about the people who were already here. I have yet to see these people flourish when they should have been the first to do so. Today, immigration by the masses is the worst a country can do. That is why the United States has always helped foreign countries to help slow down the immigration. Once you are over crowded, the nation is on the brink of destruction and everyone who lives on the land. Economy plunges downward, laws are harder to enforce, crime goes up, food becomes too scarce. At some point you have to control the immigration. Look at Europe today with immigration. The United States is headed for the same disaster. The Middle East have been at war for centuries and are now migrating by the thousands at a time and creating cultural annihalation. No assimilation. This is what NWO looks like. The ony way countries can avoid losing their cultures is to break away from the United Nation.
@@glennaleary9674 actually it wasn't really questions, it was a table with the different waves of immigration and we had to name the immigrating groups at that times and a few key events and laws! I'm sorry that my answer was kind of.. misleading?
Studying teach history and culture is a good way to learn a language. When I teach English to nonnative speakers, I teach English by teaching American history and culture. You cannot divorce language from the history and culture of the people who speak it.
@@tammardant5353 Actually you are right. I recently learned methods of teaching foreign languages, and some of the methods is concerned with the culture and the history of native speakers of the target language, which means the cultural of the country you want to speak it's language..
The Dutch were quite successful in the early 17th century and throughout that century in establishing communities and civility. They actually defeated England to take New York back but then gave it back under the Treaty of Westminster in 1674. Hence, the name New York still stands. 8:33 is kind of funny though, it was the Japanese who dismantled European countries in Asia and forced their empires to pack up and leave Asia. It was the white man who was made to move in that instance.
One million people a year and still more want in than the laws allow. My great grandfather said something I will never forget. He was a first generation immigrant from Poland who hid that fact from his family. After scolding my Father for talking about his heritage she told my Grandmother. You teach my Grandsons 2 things. The first is that they should know how to read. The second is that you never let them not be proud to be American, and that has stuck with me more than anything. People want to come here.
zeanamush Those are the immigrants America wants. Not these illegals that have no respect for the country or these refugees that suck up welfare and pledge allegiance to Isis.
Ruben Lol, Agree with you, i am not Racist, however, it's funny to see that Mexicans claims Respect of Americans, however, they do not strive in any ways to move to the USA legally as every Decent and Honest person, i live in South America, and honestly, They do nothing but give a bad name of criminals and Drug dealers to honest Latin Americans -_-
Two things: 1. "I am not racist, however..." Every statement I've ever heard with this particular intro has been, in fact, racist. 2. What gives you the right to generalize all Mexicans and claim that they all move to the US illegally? And even if they do, are you aware of how difficult it is to legally come to the US? People wait DECADES before even hearing back from the department of immigration. Now, imagine that your family is at risk of being robbed, being killed, or even dying of starvation due to the corrupt state of Mexican government. What would you do? As a fellow Latin American, it truly is disappointing to see that some would rather side with xenophobic propaganda than with one another.
Instead of spending all that money keeping immigrants out we should be investing money to stop the cause of the immigration I CAN'T FIND WORK OR MY CHILDREN CAN'T HAVE A FUTURE that's why Europe got so low. Now your better off in Europe once it's recovered from the ression because there isn't such a wealth gap and they have SKILLED workers.
Although the initial description doesn't include all the original inhabitants and is still not inclusive of where/how arrivals initially came: This is quite helpful and I appreciate the work/production and share.
Lol lots of butthurt people here. Illegal immigration was just as important as regular. YOU should go eduacate yourself. Think of it this way, they were basically used to do cheap labor, could not demand any wage change, had horrible conditions, etc. trump getting rid of them does nothing to help this country. Crime will not go down as it has been proven that immigrants (EVEN MEXICAN ONES) are less prone to crime than their "American" counterparts. And they are not stealing US jobs. Trust me, they're getting the crappiest jobs out there and god forbid any one but a white guy have 1rst rights to a job. Because as far as anyone is concerned, the "true Americans" commited genocide on the real Americans that lived here. Which is something no other type of immigrant has done when they come here. Anyway good day!
Mostly Puritans? Actually, there were more convicts here than Puritans as Great Britain used both it and Australia as penal colonies. If you stole in England you had a choice of punishment there or be shipped to the "new world".
indeed, America is a melting pot. Therefore, no one is said to be superior . Blacks, Whites, Indians, Hispanic made America. I have a dream that one day ,the dream that King Martin dreamt will come to pass . God bless America and bless the Whole world as well.
This is 2022, and America is a mess. So keep dreaming, it ain't happening in this country! It is so much hatred and racist in this country. It is more like The United States of hatred. Racism has taken over this country
You're wrong in some parts, Cristóbal Colón or Christopher Columbus never arrived to the east coast of the USA, he arrived to other countries located more south like Cuba and later Mexico (because the spanish King and queen hired him to discover new ways to arrive to Asia, mainly India, also people from New Spain (now called Mexico) was a big country from Honduras to Alta California [California nowadays]); this includes Texas (were the majority were british), because the government of the New Spain wasn't pay attention to their northern states Texas decided to "separate of New Spain by it's own, then this state asked to the USA if Texas can be part of this country, but America says "NO", but later when the USA became an oficial country (independent from the UK), it's governors of that were looking for expand their terrority, so now this time America's government say "YES" to Texas and joined to the USA and later they invaded Mexico City (the capital of Mexico) so they can get Alta California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and part of the Utah state, finally the spanish conquerors sell to America the state of Florida and all the coast of the Gulf of Mexico that belongs today to the USA
Not really useful essay. How did people actually apply for citizenship to this nation? After all, people could gain entry to this country through any port. Louis Prima and his family, entered through New Orleans. When did citizenship become such an arduous path.
Damn this documentary is bull, I just started watching it hoping this was something interesting and it already started with crap. Spanish people didn’t wipe natives, they conquered the aztecs with help of opposite tribes; come on, just look at mexicans, they are mostly native, some mestizos!
LOL, Ever being to Mexico? The average Mexican might have some lefts of spaniard ancestry. But not even 10 % of Mexicans have predominant European features… I've lived in 3 different cities, and visited more than 16 Different Mexican states… don't come to lecture me with your stupidity please!!
Menelao I reaaaaly doubt you've ever stepped foot in Mexico. DNA studies prove most have significant European ancestry, in fact, they prove that most are mostly European(55-64%) on average. You must have very selective sight if you only see indigenous looking Mexicans, oh wait, you wouldn't notice a white looking one if someone like you had such a small ignorant brain cause you'd just see them as another white person.
When did I say that Mexicans with 55% European ancestry look "European"? That would make them mixed race, which would give them European and indigenous features. And why do you use a 100 year old census? Knowing Mexico and it's history, the 10% were most likely people of 100% European ancestry or with ties to Europe, meaning people of 70-99% European ancestry would count them selves as mixed, since that was the ideal citizen promoted by the government. And yeah, a Mexican who says "vos"....like a true Mexican would....
The history of St. Augustine, Florida, the oldest continuously occupied settlement of European origin in the United States, began in 1565 when it was founded by the Spanish admiral, Pedro Menéndez de Avilés.
Depends who you ask (in Russia it's always been considered a national minority, and some Jewish people will say it's a nation that happens to have an ethnicity and its own religion, regardless of whether it exists territorially or not).
The mention of Ellis Island in NY Bay and Angel Island in SF Bay doesn't date their establishment. Ellis Island didn't begin its immigration operation until 1892, well after much immigration spurred by the Irish and European potato famines. Angel Island didn't begin its immigration operation until 1910. As was mentioned, the US Border Patrol wasn't established until 1924. One pithy issue that's often unmentioned is how all of the 19th Century immigration limitations and exclusions didn't pertain to the rest of this hemisphere, only to transoceanic immigration. Latin America was not targeted until the 20th Century. During the Mexican Revolution, 1910-1920, in hopes of garnering inroads into Mexico's nationalized oil fields, the US essentially opened its borders to Mexican refugees. The Mexican civil war took more than a million civilian lives but hundreds of thousands had crossed into the US for refuge and many stayed, legally.

Attracting people is 1 thing, attracting the RIGHT people is what made us great. These people LIVED in OTHER countries that are NOT good at all, why is that?
Wow. So many false claims in this video. The Arawaks were not at all friendly. African slaves were not "stolen", they were sold by African slave owners in Africa. That's why it's called the "African slave trade" And don't get me started on the Irish.
You're a liar...American slaves arrived in America by British and American slave ships...and it's all written in American History books. U pathetic liar.
You think these Indian tribes weren't racist? We can talk about the Mound people in America who were exterminated by other Indian tribes with no reservations made, no consideration made for the indigenous people; the Mound people who built the Mound culture from the Great lakes all the way down to the mouth of the Mississippi, and to the East, and middle section of America. You think the Aztecs didn't conquer other tribes?
Indian populations today are flourishing and they have their own areas which they have literally control over. They're not even subject to many Federal laws or state laws and I think that's good; and I think that they have a right to preserve their heritage. Their population figures were never huge in these huge vast Americas; and there were migrations of people historically; but there's no need to assign a terrible guilt to Europeans any more than there's need to assign guilt to Indians because of some of their actions in the past.
***** When you look at the struggle between Europeans and Indians many hundreds of years ago now; and you look at that struggle...Well, the truth is Indian tribes themselves had struggle among their own people. It's the law of life, you can't condemn European peoples for that anymore than you condemn Indians for the fact that the Aztec conquered other tribes; you can't condemn that anymore than you can condemn the Cherokee Indians for wiping out the Mound people; And (btw) they built no reservations for them. But, I actually admire the spirit of the Indian peoples standing up for themselves and I honor them; and I also honor the European people for the same value system.
karthik chevuru I'm a European American that certainly wants to preserve my European culture, and heritage, and values; and at the same time I really admire, and I respect the Indian culture. And there have been many Americans, leading Americans from the earliest times of colonialism who also respected Indian culture and who worked hard to make sure that Indian culture wasn't wiped out (that they had reservations) unlike the Mound people who were wiped out and Genocided. I celebrate when the Indians of the Southwest say, 'We want to preserve our culture, we want to preserve our heritage, our genealogy, we want to preserve our ways'. I Clap my Hands. I actually admire the spirit of the Indian peoples standing up for themselves and I honor them; and I also honor the European people for the same value system.

***** I think deporting all illegals would be so stupid first just run through a background check if they haven't raped or killed anyone they get to stay and proof their citizens what that would do is all the businesses that are hiring illegals would be forced to pay a fair wage or at least the minimum because all that cheap labor they had was due to the fact of the illegals or undocumented if you like had no other recourse but to accept the lesser wage if they were demanding fair wage or at least minimum I think that would drive our economy straight through the roof just my thought I live right here on the border and I really honestly don't see a lot of assimilation I dunno if any of Hispanic friends that do assimilate that are stimulated but I also see a lot that do not wish to do so I'm sure maybe it's because a lot of Americans white Americans don't make him feel at home and maybe the fact that they just don't want to be at home I'm sure bigger brains out there would have the answers
+Alex Van Doren a lot of people want the borders secure how about this we have so many millions and millions of dollars in aid to foreign countries what if we offered Mexican generals a few million dollars every year to keep illegals coming over the border. I have a feeling that when the Mexican government and the Mexican generals see that their pockets are being filled by enforcing the borders I bet that would stop the flow of illegal undocumented people across the border no need for walls just making incentive for the Mexican side to stop the flow I have they say money talks
Racism is a big part in why people can't assimilate or feel like this is "their" country.
culture, and ideologies are not compatible . the left want to make about racism
Well said, that's why the Irish are so successful over here, 35 million claim Irish ancestry, because of their ability to assimilate effortlessly into the weave and fabric of American life.
It's false. The first colony was San Agustín, founded by The Spanish Empire in Florida.
Videojuegos Fan St. Augustine
@@ppg4667 It is San Agustin. St. Augustine is the english translation of it.
Spanish don't count sorry
Nobody cares, insecure Spaniarrd. It didn't lead to anything anyway.The English settlements are what ended up making a differencce to the culture.Besiides, Spain had only existed since 1492, getting lucky by borrowing some of the scientific discoveries of the arabic moors, who dominated them for 800 years. England had been around since 932, in an unbroken timeline
Where are the sources and references of these graphs..
Keep the immigrants, deport the racists!
Thanks, nice to see quality video's made on youtube!
After seeing this video, America was, is and will be a nation of Immigrants, if they have a genuine desire to be an American. Immigrants were America's engine and they still are. God bless America. ☺
Not hating on the video cause it was great, but Colombia was spelt wrong in 19:44, the country of Colombia is spelt with an O, not a U
Correction: The first successful colony in what today is the continental United States was established by Spain in 1565 in St. Augustine, Florida, NOT in 1607 in Jamestown, Virginia. Plus, Jamestown was not very successful, as it was abandoned in 1699. For that reason, Jamestown doesn't even qualify as the second-oldest successful colony: that title goes to Santa Fe, New Mexico (1607). The third-oldest colony is today called Hampton, Virginia (1610). As for your emphasis on the negative aspects of Columbus and the Spanish, other Europeans (e.g., the British, the French and the Dutch) brought death and destruction to the native people of America, too.
Saint Augustine wasn't British territory though
Cajuns are not the descendants of the French who came to Louisiana from France. Their ancestors came from Nova Scotia and settled in rural areas in southern Louisiana, not New Orleans.
Fascinating look into our immigration history. Gives a greater perspective on current events in 2018. A lot can happen in three short years. This video could seriously use an update.
Wow, Amazing video, I'm watching it for my social studies class.
Is it an interesting class?
@@AronKovnertv lol
The Native Americans were not a bunch of peace loving hippies. The majority were constantly at war with each other and often struggling to survive. It is a sad note in Americas history, but it was not as depicted in the video. I think the first model for a democratic society sprang from this sadness
+CMeads We know that whites caused a lot of problems. But lets not hide some of the information.
The volatile environment in the America regions (hundreds of years ago) existed before the Europeans came. Tribes fought Tribes. Some Indians were peaceful. Just as some Whites were/are peaceful. Also the Indians were not always good stewards of the land. The would set the forest on fire because of boredom. They stampeded Buffalo herds off cliffs. Leaving the meat to rot. They over fished coastal areas causing extinction of species. Some of my information came from the University of Colorado and other universities studies on Indians. Indians are just like every culture on the planet. Some things great. Something not so good.
Natives set the forest on fire as a means of burning bacteria around an oak tree so the oak tree doesn’t die from disease. Not out of boredom. Some natives were brutal. Most just wanted to not have all of their land taken away. And most native groups were bullied into horrible reservations. The natives were bullied even when they left the reservations. And I should clarify that when I mean bully they would slaughter all of them with no warning even if they surrendered.
You say that like in europe there haven't been war.. Just look at how small the country's are in europe
You can't be illegal in a country you founded.

My name is Amir Khaksar, a permanent resident of Canada. For years, my family has been separated across international borders. My son and mother reside in the USA while my daughter and her American citizen husband are stuck in Iran, awaiting the approval of her green card application. This process has taken an unjustifiably long time with no response or explanation from the U.S embassy in Turkey.
Remove the quotation marks from Native in the video description. Natives ARE indigenous. You are expressing racist and incorrect views by claiming that Natives are not indigenous. Natives are not the same as colonizers. You are trying to diminish the genocide of colonizers. Remove the quotation marks.
its the natives fault for being weak, survival of the fittest
Natives didn’t spawn here…

This means they went to Jamestown. Immigrants to Plymouth, Massachusetts did not arrive until 1620. You may have your family history incorrect.

Please don't put "alot" in your essay
The truth of the first settlers is: They were people who wanted freedom of religion. They became farmers and friends of the indigenous people. British government learned of the rich soil and multitude of land and brought in soldiers and (what they deemed leaders) to take over and rule. That was when the greed began. They ended up surpressing the settlers to do the famr work and work the British plantations while the British people flourished from the crops. When cotton and tobacco became a huge economic growth, the British acquired tremendously large plantations. That was when the British brought the African slaves to the United States.
If you research how our government formed, you would understand that the founding forefathers (settlers) were the conservatives fighting to free themselves from the British governing and free slavery. The liberals were the British fighting to keep their slavery and rein over the people. This is where Republican and Democratic originates. Since the British (Democrats) lost the civil war, within that same year they established the first secret society (KKK). Founding forefathers were settlers that were not out to manipulate the natives of the land. European British government brought greed and corruption. Even after the civil war the Democrats have continued with their greed. This is why corruption remains in our government. This is why the Declaration of the Constitution was established. To protect the people of the land from government.
Immigration is what made this country what it is. But people seem to forget about the people who were already here. I have yet to see these people flourish when they should have been the first to do so.
Today, immigration by the masses is the worst a country can do. That is why the United States has always helped foreign countries to help slow down the immigration. Once you are over crowded, the nation is on the brink of destruction and everyone who lives on the land. Economy plunges downward, laws are harder to enforce, crime goes up, food becomes too scarce. At some point you have to control the immigration.
Look at Europe today with immigration. The United States is headed for the same disaster. The Middle East have been at war for centuries and are now migrating by the thousands at a time and creating cultural annihalation. No assimilation. This is what NWO looks like. The ony way countries can avoid losing their cultures is to break away from the United Nation.
My great grandma was a polish immigrant
cool
All of us had immigrant families.

Thank you for posting this! My students really enjoyed it. :-)
I dunno why we study the history of America here in Morocco.. i mean i wanted to study the language not US and British history!!!
Studying teach history and culture is a good way to learn a language. When I teach English to nonnative speakers, I teach English by teaching American history and culture. You cannot divorce language from the history and culture of the people who speak it.
@@tammardant5353 Actually you are right. I recently learned methods of teaching foreign languages, and some of the methods is concerned with the culture and the history of native speakers of the target language, which means the cultural of the country you want to speak it's language..

The Dutch were quite successful in the early 17th century and throughout that century in establishing communities and civility. They actually defeated England to take New York back but then gave it back under the Treaty of Westminster in 1674. Hence, the name New York still stands. 8:33 is kind of funny though, it was the Japanese who dismantled European countries in Asia and forced their empires to pack up and leave Asia. It was the white man who was made to move in that instance.
One million people a year and still more want in than the laws allow.
My great grandfather said something I will never forget. He was a first generation immigrant from Poland who hid that fact from his family. After scolding my Father for talking about his heritage she told my Grandmother. You teach my Grandsons 2 things. The first is that they should know how to read. The second is that you never let them not be proud to be American, and that has stuck with me more than anything. People want to come here.
zeanamush This video did not mention that Poles immigrated to Jamestown in its second year. So Poles are the second immigrant group after the British.
They came all the time.
zeanamush Those are the immigrants America wants. Not these illegals that have no respect for the country or these refugees that suck up welfare and pledge allegiance to Isis.
Ruben Lol, Agree with you, i am not Racist, however, it's funny to see that Mexicans claims Respect of Americans, however, they do not strive in any ways to move to the USA legally as every Decent and Honest person, i live in South America, and honestly, They do nothing but give a bad name of criminals and Drug dealers to honest Latin Americans -_-
Two things:
1. "I am not racist, however..." Every statement I've ever heard with this particular intro has been, in fact, racist.
2. What gives you the right to generalize all Mexicans and claim that they all move to the US illegally? And even if they do, are you aware of how difficult it is to legally come to the US? People wait DECADES before even hearing back from the department of immigration. Now, imagine that your family is at risk of being robbed, being killed, or even dying of starvation due to the corrupt state of Mexican government. What would you do? As a fellow Latin American, it truly is disappointing to see that some would rather side with xenophobic propaganda than with one another.

Instead of spending all that money keeping immigrants out we should be investing money to stop the cause of the immigration I CAN'T FIND WORK OR MY CHILDREN CAN'T HAVE A FUTURE that's why Europe got so low. Now your better off in Europe once it's recovered from the ression because there isn't such a wealth gap and they have SKILLED workers.

Well done!
Trump need to see this video...
+Rene Ligero you should read more on the subject than just a leftist channels youtube videos
Lol lots of butthurt people here. Illegal immigration was just as important as regular. YOU should go eduacate yourself. Think of it this way, they were basically used to do cheap labor, could not demand any wage change, had horrible conditions, etc. trump getting rid of them does nothing to help this country. Crime will not go down as it has been proven that immigrants (EVEN MEXICAN ONES) are less prone to crime than their "American" counterparts. And they are not stealing US jobs. Trust me, they're getting the crappiest jobs out there and god forbid any one but a white guy have 1rst rights to a job. Because as far as anyone is concerned, the "true Americans" commited genocide on the real Americans that lived here. Which is something no other type of immigrant has done when they come here.
Anyway good day!
lol im dead
why are all the defense coming from Hispanic names...and all that who agrees, come from non hispanic...can you say predictable.
70,000 illegals are in jail today charged with rape...Absolutely True Fact...before you say anything, ask their victims for permission to speak.
I 💜 America 🇺🇸 From Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 💜
Mostly Puritans? Actually, there were more convicts here than Puritans as Great Britain used both it and Australia as penal colonies. If you stole in England you had a choice of punishment there or be shipped to the "new world".
Give numbers friend (even grossly approximately ones).

indeed, America is a melting pot. Therefore, no one is said to be superior . Blacks, Whites, Indians, Hispanic made America. I have a dream that one day ,the dream that King Martin dreamt will come to pass . God bless America and bless the Whole world as well.
This is 2022, and America is a mess. So keep dreaming, it ain't happening in this country! It is so much hatred and racist in this country. It is more like The United States of hatred. Racism has taken over this country
0:50 What building is this? It looks fascinating.
You're wrong in some parts, Cristóbal Colón or Christopher Columbus never arrived to the east coast of the USA, he arrived to other countries located more south like Cuba and later Mexico (because the spanish King and queen hired him to discover new ways to arrive to Asia, mainly India, also people from New Spain (now called Mexico) was a big country from Honduras to Alta California [California nowadays]); this includes Texas (were the majority were british), because the government of the New Spain wasn't pay attention to their northern states Texas decided to "separate of New Spain by it's own, then this state asked to the USA if Texas can be part of this country, but America says "NO", but later when the USA became an oficial country (independent from the UK), it's governors of that were looking for expand their terrority, so now this time America's government say "YES" to Texas and joined to the USA and later they invaded Mexico City (the capital of Mexico) so they can get Alta California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and part of the Utah state, finally the spanish conquerors sell to America the state of Florida and all the coast of the Gulf of Mexico that belongs today to the USA
Alberto Alcántar whats your point?
He said "Traveled to the Bahamas" bro
The first colony in what today is the United States was established in florida in 1565 by Juan Ponce de León (Spain).
Irrelevant, didn't lead to anything
I'm here for homework but it's a great video :)
Not really useful essay. How did people actually apply for citizenship to this nation? After all, people could gain entry to this country through any port. Louis Prima and his family, entered through New Orleans. When did citizenship become such an arduous path.

Damn this documentary is bull, I just started watching it hoping this was something interesting and it already started with crap. Spanish people didn’t wipe natives, they conquered the aztecs with help of opposite tribes; come on, just look at mexicans, they are mostly native, some mestizos!
Most Mexicans are mestizo, not "some". The average Mexican is actually mostly European.
LOL, Ever being to Mexico? The average Mexican might have some lefts of spaniard ancestry. But not even 10 % of Mexicans have predominant European features…
I've lived in 3 different cities, and visited more than 16 Different Mexican states… don't come to lecture me with your stupidity please!!
***** also, mixing is not wiping, so I stand with my point this documental is bs.
Menelao I reaaaaly doubt you've ever stepped foot in Mexico. DNA studies prove most have significant European ancestry, in fact, they prove that most are mostly European(55-64%) on average. You must have very selective sight if you only see indigenous looking Mexicans, oh wait, you wouldn't notice a white looking one if someone like you had such a small ignorant brain cause you'd just see them as another white person.
When did I say that Mexicans with 55% European ancestry look "European"? That would make them mixed race, which would give them European and indigenous features. And why do you use a 100 year old census? Knowing Mexico and it's history, the 10% were most likely people of 100% European ancestry or with ties to Europe, meaning people of 70-99% European ancestry would count them selves as mixed, since that was the ideal citizen promoted by the government. And yeah, a Mexican who says "vos"....like a true Mexican would....
Who else disrupted by an ad while doing their homework
Columbus was a megalomaniac without regard for other life.
The history of St. Augustine, Florida, the oldest continuously occupied settlement of European origin in the United States, began in 1565 when it was founded by the Spanish admiral, Pedro Menéndez de Avilés.
Angel Avila the US didn’t emerge from st. Augustin....it did from the 13 colonies
So what,, it didn't lead to anything. Besides, Spain had only existed since 1492, not exactly ancient, is it
Nice Video but there is one thing that bothers me. Being a Jew is not a nationality (at around 9:40).
Depends who you ask (in Russia it's always been considered a national minority, and some Jewish people will say it's a nation that happens to have an ethnicity and its own religion, regardless of whether it exists territorially or not).
The mention of Ellis Island in NY Bay and Angel Island in SF Bay doesn't date their establishment. Ellis Island didn't begin its immigration operation until 1892, well after much immigration spurred by the Irish and European potato famines. Angel Island didn't begin its immigration operation until 1910. As was mentioned, the US Border Patrol wasn't established until 1924. One pithy issue that's often unmentioned is how all of the 19th Century immigration limitations and exclusions didn't pertain to the rest of this hemisphere, only to transoceanic immigration. Latin America was not targeted until the 20th Century. During the Mexican Revolution, 1910-1920, in hopes of garnering inroads into Mexico's nationalized oil fields, the US essentially opened its borders to Mexican refugees. The Mexican civil war took more than a million civilian lives but hundreds of thousands had crossed into the US for refuge and many stayed, legally.

And don't get me started on the Irish.
You're a liar...American slaves arrived in America by British and American slave ships...and it's all written in American History books.
U pathetic liar.
You think these Indian tribes weren't racist? We can talk about the Mound people in America who were exterminated by other Indian tribes with no reservations made, no consideration made for the indigenous people; the Mound people who built the Mound culture from the Great lakes all the way down to the mouth of the Mississippi, and to the East, and middle section of America.
You think the Aztecs didn't conquer other tribes?
Actually the one that said the domination thing was Pizarro but its ok
I WILL PAY FOR SOMEONE TO WATCH THIS FOR ME
This is a long Homework task
Indian populations today are flourishing and they have their own areas which they have literally control over. They're not even subject to many Federal laws or state laws and I think that's good; and I think that they have a right to preserve their heritage.
Their population figures were never huge in these huge vast Americas; and there were migrations of people historically; but there's no need to assign a terrible guilt to Europeans any more than there's need to assign guilt to Indians because of some of their actions in the past.
+Robert Bump The native populations exceeded that of Europe at the time of conquest.
Brendan Foster Wrong!
***** When you look at the struggle between Europeans and Indians many hundreds of years ago now; and you look at that struggle...Well, the truth is Indian tribes themselves had struggle among their own people. It's the law of life, you can't condemn European peoples for that anymore than you condemn Indians for the fact that the Aztec conquered other tribes; you can't condemn that anymore than you can condemn the Cherokee Indians for wiping out the Mound people; And (btw) they built no reservations for them.
But, I actually admire the spirit of the Indian peoples standing up for themselves and I honor them; and I also honor the European people for the same value system.
+Robert Bump i m Indian.I heard many US citizens hate Indians.
karthik chevuru I'm a European American that certainly wants to preserve my European culture, and heritage, and values; and at the same time I really admire, and I respect the Indian culture.
And there have been many Americans, leading Americans from the earliest times of colonialism who also respected Indian culture and who worked hard to make sure that Indian culture wasn't wiped out (that they had reservations) unlike the Mound people who were wiped out and Genocided.
I celebrate when the Indians of the Southwest say, 'We want to preserve our culture, we want to preserve our heritage, our genealogy, we want to preserve our ways'. I Clap my Hands.
I actually admire the spirit of the Indian peoples standing up for themselves and I honor them; and I also honor the European people for the same value system.
