This counterargument conveniently ignores the history of 'European colonization of America from the early 16th century until the incorporation of the colonies into the United States of America [0]'.

I'm not the most well-versed on these topic (colonization / mobility) but it would seem that that mobility is what helped shape America into what it is today rather than "not allowing mobility".

I think you two both agree, actually. How did colonization work out for the indians?

Well, the original autochthonous inhabitants of Americas would almost certainly preferred to be left alone than getting the Germs, Gold, and Guns "gifts" from the explorers and colonists...
