latino immigration
latino history and u.s. history have long been intertwined, and remain increasingly so for a variety of reasons.
nearly 20% of the u.s. population is latino.
proximity between the u.s. and heavily latino regions promotes high rates of immigration when compared to other ethnicities.
latino people from many nations have diverse but strong motives to immigrate to the u.s.
escaping oppression: many south and central american nations have been historically plagued by dictatorships and political oppression, causing refugees to flee.
fleeing natural disasters: natural disasters, especially hurricanes, have periodically devastated many south and central american nations, driving immigrants to the u.s. as refugees.
opportunity: the u.s. possesses a strong economy, and since the industrial revolution of the early 19th century, has attracted many latino immigrants in search of better employment.
many early latino immigrants also possessed experience in mining and farming enabling them to capitalize on the booming u.s. industries.
why is the latino immigration rate to the u.s. high compared to that of other ethnicities?
quotas call for higher latino immigration.
latino populations tend to be closer to the united states.
latino cultures are historically nomadic in nature.

Explanation:

The proximity of Latin - American countries to the U.S. is a significant factor in the high Latino immigration rate. Geographical closeness makes migration more feasible compared to ethnic groups from farther - away regions. There are no quotas specifically calling for higher Latino immigration, and the nomadic nature of Latino cultures is not a primary reason for immigration to the U.S.

Answer:

Latino populations tend to be closer to the United States.
