I don't care too much for what's native and what's not (perhaps partly because being an immigrant myself hehe) but the real disturbing plants are the ones who out-compete multiple species and add rather large points of failure by ridding diversity.
While imagining glowing forests is cool, in the fight against sweeping diseases, diversity is king.

Some non-native species may increase diversity and some native species can turn invasive when the environment changes (usually due to the global warming).
