Abstract
Although the number of immigrants coming from Latin America to United States decreased in the last years, due to the aggressive immigration policies implemented by the current federal administration, the Latin American diaspora has been the main immigration driver to this country since the 1970s. According to the Migration Policy Institute, in 2023, nearly 45 per cent of immigrants in US (21.5 million people) reported having Hispanic or Latino origins.1 These facts alone have made Latin American one of the most significant cultural identities in US today. The decisive Latino vote in the last presidential election has come to reinforce this argument.
