Not really. Those are human made concepts, so you must start from the inception of the concept of immigration. Good luck finding the exact date, since it predates written language :/
Well since dates are human concepts as well we can just state it is immigration date 00/00/0000.
Are the months or days first? That’s up to you, haha. You make a good point, but you understand what I mean. If we consider immigration only being the integration into another state permanently then we would have to say we had mostly open immigration into the U.S. until the later parts of the 1800s. The first 99 years there were no real immigration laws here. (So roughly 40% of our history had no immigration restrictions for the most part)
What if we called the original people Americans, and the newcomers immigrant Americans?
Clarity: Native American -> American
American -> Immigrant American
And due to the transitive property of humans, if we follow this through to its logical conclusion then native Americans are immigrant Americans too
All life on land is an immigrant is it not?
