I think this article conveys the opposite message from what the author is trying to convey:

“Good thing Native Americans didn’t treat the Pilgrims like we treat Syrian refugees

“Today’s refugees don’t look, sound or worship like we do, but the Pilgrims were different than the indigenous people who still welcomed them here…

“Though their behavior in “the new world” was far from saintly, the Pilgrims were still refugees….

“Come to think of it, maybe the English settlers should have been kept out. Despite whatever good feelings led to the Thanksgiving tableau between the Pilgrims and local Wampanoag tribe, the uneasy relationship between the English and the Natives ultimately dissolved into warfare with the many Native Americans on the losing end. As more Puritans, and then many others, arrived in the New World, even more zealotry took hold. Those who deviated from the religious or political norm were banished and dissenting views were silenced.”
