Central Americans in the United States  

Definición

  • While Mexico has long been the principal source nation of Latin American immigrants to the United States, from the late 1970s onward, Central Americans also began to settle in the United States in substantial numbers. From 1980 to 2000, over 1 million Central Americans from seven nations—Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama—entered the United States as legal immigrants.
