I think you’ll find both concepts, at least in widespread use, are fairly novel concepts. Many would define colonization as a financial institution, for instance, not merely migration or displacement/integration. The legalization of immigration is generally a 19th (and certainly 20th) century innovation, as it requires overcoming significant technological barriers associated with identification and centralized bureaucracy. For instance, my ancestors have lived on this continent for almost exactly 400 years. Only one of them came here legally, and I don’t think any came here illegally.
