So the British, French and Spanish governments did support the majority of people who came to the new world.

Start with Columbus and work forward and it looks a lot different that what you are saying.

Demographics[edit]

Most of the people who arrived during the first 12 years emigrated from two regions of England. Many of the colonists came from the county of Lincolnshire and East Anglia, northeast of London, and a large group also came from Devon, Somerset, and Dorset in the southwest of England. These areas provided the bulk of the migration, although colonists also came from other regions of England.[85] The pattern of migration often centered around specific Nonconformist clergy who sought to leave England under threat from Archbishop Laud, who encouraged their flock to accompany them.[86] One characteristic unique to the New England colonies (as distinguished from some of the other English colonies) was that most of the immigrants were emigrating for religious and political reasons, rather than economic ones.[87]

The preponderance of the immigrants were well-to-do gentry and skilled craftsmen. They brought with them apprentices and servants, the latter of whom were sometimes in indentured servitude.[88] Few titled nobility emigrated, even though some supported the emigration politically and financially and also acquired land holdings in Massachusetts and other colonies.[89] Merchants also represented a significant proportion of the migrants, often the children of the gentry, and they played an important role in establishing the economy of the colony.[88]

With the start of the English Civil War in 1642, emigration came to a comparative standstill, and some colonists even returned to England to fight for the Parliamentary cause. In the following years, most of the immigrants came for economic reasons; they were merchants, seamen, and skilled craftsmen. Following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, the colony also saw in an influx of French Protestant Huguenots. During the period of the charter colony, small numbers of Scots immigrated, but these were assimilated into the colony.[90] The population of Massachusetts remained largely English in character until the 1840s.[91]

Those who say "Well chances are you'll never be blown up are a$$hats" It's a stupid argument.

They also never had a family member killed by Muslim terrorist, their head cut off or body blown up, their blood spilling out onto our streets. They never had a wife or daughter brutally raped and murdered by an illegal Mexican and left to die a horrific and painful death.

At least the Indians were smart enough to recognize immigrants with different values were a threat to their way of life unlike some on this board.

"Hey, I know whitey wants to kill us, butt let's have some come live with us. We can give them a free teepee, food and monthly wampum". What could go wrong...

Your ignorance and racism just keeps shining thru.

Amazing that you can even ski with your knuckles on the ground.

No one wants terrorists of any kind to come to the USA.

Maybe you should remember this: "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Maybe you should check to see what the country of Jordan has done, as well as all the people that Germany has taken in.
