If European colonization of North America didn't happen or on a much smaller scale (say, no great imported plagues, the Anglos never move west from the Appalachians, the Spanish take everything else but then get beaten back by a wave of decolonization by the native nations, etc), so that today most of North America would be made up of native nation-states and confederacies, do you think there still would have been immigration into the new world with immigrants applying in large numbers for citizenship in these nations?

Is it likely that several native nations would embrace intercontinental immigration, would "isolationism" prevail (like we see, say, in Japan), would European interest to live in the new world be much more limited with such different cultures in charge (though I imagine in either case foreign corproations would try to "colonize" the land for its resources either way) ?
