To the US: never.
I'm Dutch. My family from my father's side is all Dutch as far as I know, although my grandmother's maiden name could be traced back in her familytree to a man who immigrated from what was then Germany and now Poland to Holland in the 17th or 18th century (don't know it exactly, I haven't seen the book with the family tree in years).
My family from my mother's side comes from a village only 15 kms (about 10 miles ;-) ) from the German border, and my greatgrandmother was born even closer to the border, so I wouldn't be surprised if some of my ancestors originated from Germany (or Prussia as some older people in that region still call it :-) ).
