Depending on the time-frame, it could be different people. It is generally established that the Norse sailors were the first ancient visitors to the continent. Later, groups of British people seeking religious freedom arrived on the continent, in addition to more British colonials after that.

As far as the first immigrants after the formation of the United States, British and some French added to the population of the early U.S., and later on enormous amounts of Japanese and Chinese immigrants who came during the gold rush as well as during the building of the American railroads in the 1800's.

It's important to note that Africans arrived in the country preceding many of the aforementioned peoples, however they were mostly brought by force as slaves and usually "Immigration" tends to refer to voluntary arrival.
