This map is nonsense and implies rigid European borders. It ignored the hundreds of independent tribes on the continent. Comparing illegal immigration with colonizing is stupid too. Also the map implies native people never conquered each other or colonized others land which to be clear, is not justifying later European colonization, but we shouldn't play into the noble savage trope.
Yes, colonizing is much, much worse than "illegal immigration," which is a term conceived by colonists.
