Gotcha, I understand now. 90-95% of the natives were unfortunately wiped out by diseases the Europeans introduced before most of the Americas were settled, that's why the continent was largely empty.
You misunderstood my position. I'm not at all opposed to immigration. I'm opposed to welfare.
My issue is with what you're doing, comparing my ancestors to the immigrants flooding in today with expectations of full government support at my expense. It's not a fair comparison. That's all I'm saying. I have no problem with immigrants who come to work and contribute.
