Holy shit this is a fresh take my fren. Sick of hearing “this was their land”. Sorry but the world doesn't work like that anymore, the side with the best toys wins, that was the USA. They want it back? They know what they need to do.
Seriously, if we'd hit shore, taken one look at a feathered native and said "Whelp, boys, looks like this here land's TAKEN....turn her around, let's head back to merrie olde Englande....we'll have to do some apologizing to the king, I reckon..." then soon after, some OTHER group would have come along to claim the territory and displace the more primitive society.
Territorial animals must defend their territory to survive and procreate and pass on their DNA. Primates are territorial. ALL of them.
It doesn't mean we're misanthropic. It is our nature.
The ones advocating "open borders, get used to your new islamic supremacist neighbors you bigots" are pure evil to the core. Trying to use our natural love for our fellow humans as a weapon against us, a wedge to drive between us, and claim that we're barbarians just for wanting to protect our territory with borders and walls and passports.
My guess is Spain would have conquered, they were ALOT less forgiving than us and ended up with Florida at one point, plus they didn’t do “integration” until after they destroyed everything of the indigenous tribes culture.

It won't work.
