About 25 million came from Latin America and the Caribbean. At more than 11 million, Mexicans are the largest group of Latin American migrants to the United States. With about 1.7 million migrants in the US, Cuba is a distant second, followed by El Salvador with 1.5 million."
"Large-scale migration from Latin America started in the 1960s. There has been a significant increase in migration to the United States from all over the world since 2020, but the spike is especially notable for Latin America. Venezuela and Colombia are among the primary places of origin for this more recent group of migrants, according to the Pew Research Center, which makes projections based on monthly survey data."

More than 50 million US residents were born abroad; about 25 million originate from Latin America and the Caribbean. Mexicans account for over 11 million migrants, Cuba about 1.7 million and El Salvador about 1.5 million. Large-scale migration from Latin America began in the 1960s, with a notable spike since 2020, especially from Venezuela and Colombia.
