Latin American diaspora in the United States

[edit] Main article: Latino Americans

Over 63 million ^[1] Latino Americans are residents of the United States, representing about 19.0%^[1] of the US population. Latino Americans (latinos) are American citizens who are descendants of immigrants from Latin America. More generally, it includes all persons in the United States who self-identify as Latino, whether of full or partial ancestry. For the 2010 US census, the American Community Survey, "Hispanic" or "Latino" were those who identified as one of the specific Hispanic or Latino categories listed on the census or ACS questionnaire ("Mexican", "Puerto Rican", or "Cuban") as well as those who indicated that they were "other Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino". The peoples of countries considered as Hispanic or Latino American groups by the Census Bureau were the following: Spain, Argentina, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, El Salvador, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela. The Census Bureau uses the terms Hispanic and Latino interchangeably. The Census office of the United States excluded Brazilian Americans from the Hispanic and Latino American population (Brazil is part of Latin America, but Portuguese is the official language rather than Spanish). Other US government agencies have slightly different definitions of the term, including Brazilians and other Portuguese-speaking groups.

Many events lead to bursts of migration from different countries. For example, the Cuban Revolution, lead to the 1966 Cuban Adjustment Act (CAA) which accounted for 256,800^[2] Cubans recieving legal permanent residence status.
