Largemouth bass, bluegill, channel catfish, smallmouth bass, etc all outside of the Mississippi watershed. Rainbow trout outside the pacific drainages.

If you look at the dates they were introduced, common carp were actually the first gamefish.

The iconic "tumbleweed" that OP is referencing is in fact Russian. They were brought over accidentally with crop seeds with Russian immigrants.
American chestnuts were wiped out because of a disease brought over with chinese chestnuts. The location of all remaining american chestnuts trees are known and cataloged and theyre listed as a critically endangered species.
Chinese lady beetles have displaced ladybugs.
Wild boars are Russian and were released in the U.S. as a more challenging/exotic game animal by (((hunters))).
Potatoes are from south America. The Irish potato famine was due to the British blockade on Irish fishing boats.
Wild Mustangs of the western U.S. are of course not native. Natives chased down bison on foot to stab them with spears or they herded them off cliffs before Europeans settled the continent.
Beef, chicken and pork are not native to the Americas.
Neither is lettuce, garlic, onion, wheat, rice, lemon, apple or pear.
Native Americans never discovered cheese or sour cream.
"Mexican food" is beans, corn and fish with the occasional rabbit or snake.

If you think about it, we really just have the better versions of all farm animals.
