Plus there was no welfare state there to give them everything. Terribly hard conditions and many died.

what ignorance...

No they weren’t

Refugee comes from a French word and the Huguenots fleeing during the later 1600s were first called “refugees”

AFTER the Pilgrims...

The first “refugees” were Christians fleeing for their lives for religious persecution...

Islamists in America are foreign funded colonists.

It is imperialist.
