In North and South America, even the “indigenous” are descended from immigrants. Their oral history says they arrived in those continents approximately 11,000 years ago, from Asia.
Migration with weather patterns, herds, etc. was the fluid nature of life on Earth for thousands of years until nationalism with it's borders and systems of power, control, barriers and hoarding spread and solidified.
Don't romanticize the pre-Nations\Nationalism situ...Constant migration is nothing I'd wish upon any neighbor or fellow human! Keep da condition of da Human Condition in mind, even if our vision tends to pick & choose beyond our consent or control...

Immigration only applies if there are borders. Indigenous peoples had no borders 11,000 years ago, so they were simply moving around within the natural borders of the one “nation”, Earth. Granted our first common ancestors all started out in Africa, but no border, no immigration.

Semantics!
Then, let’s say “migration” that doesn’t need manmade borders. 😀
