Well, I believe it was the Santa Maria that landed first, although really the first colonies date back to the 1600's.
America was founded, by the best minds of Europe of the time, who hated the oligarchy, and wanted to found a new nation, on different principles, to defeat the idea of "empire". { "We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created Equal, and are endowed by their Creator, with certain Inalienable Rights...."}
The United States of America, shares a common tradition and culture with all of South America, in that we do not tolerate oligarchies in this hemisphere.
It is unfortunate, that in today's modern day, that there are those in America, who forget their heritage, and who also refuse to take responsibility for creating the economic conditions of misery, in many parts of the world ("Free Trade", "globalization", NAFTA, etc, which helped to create the maquiladoras, etc. which has led to a jump in immigration from nations in South America!), which is why so many risk death, to seek a better life.

Only one of these ships ever landed in the current USA. To which America do you refer?
By the way, if it's La Pinta, why isn't it La Nina and La Santa Maria?

Venus, your an idiot.
Please quote to me and this group the "immigration law" that you and others feel that the Mayflower and others broke.
Please, I can't seem to find any such law.
SO shut to hell up!!!!

You must be one of the illegal supporters whose minds still think its the 16th or 18th centuries when colonization and mass resettlement were still OK.
Please use a more sensible and up-to-date argument for illegal immigration, and stop comparing America today with the America of centuries past.

We pay the taxes that fund the services illegals are draining, such as education.
I don't care how we got here. We aren't their ATM.

Man, how you illegals grasp at anything in your effort to continue to break our laws.
Perhaps Greyhound will be your pick on returning to your country.
