The Bering Land Bridge is significant for several reasons, not least because it enabled human migration to the Americas from Asia about 12,000 years ago (see Models of migration to the New World). Recent studies have indicated that of the people migrating across this land bridge during that time period, only 70 left their genetic print in modern descendants, a minute effective founder population— easily misread as though implying that only 70 people crossed to North America. Sea-going coastal settlers may also have crossed much earlier, but scientific opinion remains divided on this point, and the coastal sites that would offer further information now lie submerged in up to a hundred metres of water offshore. Land animals were able to migrate through Beringia as well, bringing mammals that evolved in Asia to North America, mammals such as lions and cheetahs, which evolved into now-extinct endemic North American species, and exporting camelids that evolved in North America (and later became extinct there) to Asia.

probable for the duration of an Ice Age at the same time as the Bering without delay became frozen over and what later grew to grow to be commonplace as American Indians "immigrated" throughout the time of from present day day Asia/Russia. Sorry, yet it truly is as long as i can make it.

Immigration is as old as humanity but it wasnt until some person/group decided that a certain piece of land belonged to them and not to others. Very selfish, humans.

Which country are you talking about? Or better yet, what part of history are you referring to?
If it is the US, I would say when Columbus hit the coast.
