Did they get a visa or green card from the natives?

It's a rethorical question. (to the other answerers)
The pilgrims were just people searching for a better life, much like everyone else.

The natives did not require visa or green cards, unlike immigrants to the countries that were since established in the new lands, inlcuding the US, Canada, and Mexico.
Of the three, Mexico has the most restrictive immigrant policies.
But then, many of the natives killed the immigrants that arrived. I don't think that's allowed anymore either.

The idea that only "Native American" have the right to oppose immigration to the United States ignores the concept of "nation." There was no such thing as the political entity known as the the United States until the Founders created it in 1776.
Furthermore, there are not grades of citizenship. One is either a citizen of this country, or one is not. We are not more or less citizens of the United States based on the number of generations preceding us on these shores.
And, particularly, we are not more or less citizens of this country based on our skin color or ethnicity.
Since everyone in the world has ancestors who immigrated from somewhere else, the immigration history of one's ancestors is probably not relevant to the formulation of wise public policy.

Your rights are defined and guarded via treaty. yet you haven't any longer have been given the rights of an American Citizen and you're able to look on the treaty the rustic you're in has with the rustic you have an pastime in to verify what your rights are.

Illegal, the same as the rebels who fought the British during the War of Independence were terrorists.

If the "natives" had an immigration office I'm sure they would have.

They didn't have an immigration problem then and didn't care. They had tribes. and they didn't know they were citizens of anywhere. Like Leaf Erickson? or ying wang foo.
