several colonies were established in Canada, Mexico, Central America in the late 1490's and early 1500's.....

the Acoma and Taos Pueblos (New Mexico) are the oldest continuously occupied cities/towns in North America.........settled around 1000 CE (CE=common Era).....followed by the Hopi town of Oraibi (Arizona) around 1100 CE

True, this makes me more of a US citizen than most, since I am part Spaniard.

Truth be told, it was those who came in the Mayflower who are considered the "first" settlers, which we all know not to be true. This is among the many lies taught to us at schools.

Although, the only ones that can claim to be "true" Americans, North, South and Central, are Native Americans, of which I also have a chunk of. Everyone else has immigrated, mostly illegally to the US.

Funnily enough, I would be stopped over in AZ because I don't "look" American, yet my bloodline says otherwise.
