Trump
endorses bill to halve legal immigration
In
1492 Columbia traveled the ocean blue for then Queen Isabella of Spain.
However;
The First
People were the 'natives of the land'.
The First
Europeans
Were the
Norse
Then the
Spanish.
Then the
Dutch.
Followed by
the English.
So my
question is,
If we are
going to kick out all of our immigrants,
What language should we need to be
brushing up on?
The first
Europeans to arrive in North America -- at least the first for whom there is
solid evidence -- were Norse, traveling west from Greenland, where Erik
the Red had founded a settlement around the year 985.
In 1001 his son Leif is thought to have
explored the northeast coast of what is now Canada and spent at least one
winter there.
A Brief
History of the Spanish Language in the United States
By 1565, the
Spanish established their first permanent colony in San Augustín, FL
Led by Ponce
de León, the Spanish first arrived in 1513 on the present-day United States on
the Florida peninsula and returned in 1520 for further exploration. By 1565,
they had established their first permanent colony in San Agustín, Florida,
under the leadership of Pedro Menéndez de Avilés. Between 1520 and 1570, the
Spanish vigorously explored the Atlantic coast, with specific explorations
taking place in the Carolinas, Virginia, Georgia and along the New England
coast. Much later, the Spanish attempted to exert further influence in the
Southeast with the 1763 purchase of Greater Louisiana from the French, though
this territory was later resold.
First Dutch
Settlers
The first
group of Dutch settlers did not stay for long on the new continent and they can
hardly becalled settlers.
It had not
been their choice to stay there: their ship, the Tyger (tiger) had caught fire
sailing on the Hudson.
Captain
Adriaen Block was commanding one of the ships that came looking for trade on
the American coast in the years after Hudson's
voyage.
They bartered
beads and knives for furs from the natives.
When Block
came in the winter of 1613-1614 he lost his ship in a fire and had to spend the
winter in America.
He let his
crew build a couple of huts and then they began building a sloop, the Onrust
(unrest).
In the spring
Block and his men did some explorations along the coast of Long Island (Het
Lange Eiland).
Block Island
still bears his name.
The history
of the United States is what happened in the past in the United States, a
country in North
America. Native
Americans have lived there for thousands of years. English people
in 1609
went to the place now called Jamestown, Virginia. Other European settlers went to the colonies, mostly from England and later Great Britain. France, Spain, and the Netherlands also colonized South America. Many Native Americans were killed, died of disease or lost their land.

Russian settlements
Main
articles: Russian America and Russian Alaska
Explorers
and fur trappers from the Russian Empire (beginning
with the Vitus Bering expedition of 1741) arrived
on the Pacific coast of today's Alaska, and after establishing settlements
there (beginning in 1784), expanded hunting and trading down the west coast of
North America. In the early 19th century, fur trappers of the Russian Empire
explored the west coast of North America, hunting for sea otter pelts as far
south as San Diego. In 1812, the Russian-American Company set up a
fortified trading post at Fort Ross, located north of present-day Bodega Bay some
sixty miles north of San Francisco, with the never-materialized hope
of using that area to develop a source of agricultural products needed for
their settlements in Alaska.
Trump
endorses bill to halve legal immigration
Democrats
vowed to resist the changes, and immigrant rights groups said Mr. Trump was
catering to “white nationalists” with the proposal, which would slash legal
immigration over the next decade from about 1.1 million green cards a year to
500,000.
The bill
would also prevent immigrants from accessing welfare and would replace the
employment visa system, which relies on businesses to pick immigrants, with a
skills-based system that gives the government a bigger role in selecting
applicants based on their individual merits.
The bill
sells itself as a way to raise wages and create jobs — and it would drastically
reduce legal immigration over the next decade.
