The first immigrants to America were the ancestors of the Native Americans, who are thought to have come on foot from Asia through Alaska during a time when the sea level was lower than today and there was a land connection between Alaska and Siberia. It has also been suggested that they may have been fishers who traveled by boat along the coasts. More recent Immigration began in the 16th century. All immigrants from then until the 1940s came by boat of one sort or another or walked or rode across a land border if they originated in one American country and moved to another. From the 1940s immigration by airplane became more and more common.

If you mean Native Americans, historians aren't 100% sure but believe that they migrated here from Asia on which used to be the Bering Strait. The Bering Strait was basically a frozen sea (today it's the straight by Alaska and Russia) that defrosted over time.

Where did the first settlers in north America come from?

Actually, the first Americans came from asia. These are the people we know as Native Americans. They crossed over to North America by a land bridge. They did not know this was a land bridge, though. They were simply following the herds of animals that they hunted. Then came the English settlers. These people wanted to claim America, even though the Native Americans were already living here! By now, the Native Americans had found there way through what we now call Canada, the U.S., Mexico, and South America.
