"when this country was settled"

Or would it be just as accurate to say: "when this country was invaded by thousands of immigrants from Europe"? Was that not a "crushing migration"?

We are so quick to forget that almost all of our ancestors, including "the founding fathers" were immigrants or children of immigrants.

Yes, and I frequently use that phrasing instead. I was trying not to be antagonistic.
