Mexicans, like other populations in Latin America, have been immigrating to Europe in large numbers for the past 25 years. Today, the Latino community has become extensive in many countries of the continent, in some more and in some less. A very important factor, although of course, not the only one in the establishment of the Latin populations in the old continent, is the language. As in any population of foreign lands, there are some who are the first to arrive. They are the pioneers. Those who establish the colony that with the passage of time is built and extends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most Latinos have migrated to the United States of America because it is practically the empire of the contemporary world, where there is more opportunity in the American continent. In "the land of the free and home of the brave," as the North American country likes to characterize itself, during its construction, with the abolition of slavery and after the astonishing growth that it had at the end of the Second World War, the working hands were in full demand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Between 1836 and 1914, more than 30 million European migrants came to the United States with the illusion of growing up in the new nation. From 1892 to 1954, Ellis Island in New York alone received some 12 million migrants, mostly from southern and western Europe, who for various reasons dared to cross the Atlantic and make the United States their home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Going back to Spanish-speakers in the United States, the population until 1950 was 1% or less of the total population of the country, reaching 10.2% in 1995 and 14% in 2006. It is estimated that it will reach 30% by 2050 which means that one in three people will be of Hispanic origin! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the states of California and New Mexico today, Latinos \/ Hispanics, Mexicans in their plurality, are the majority of the population. It is more than obvious that the white Anglo-Saxon population is shrinking year after year and it is estimated that by 2060 it will be 43% of the total, with Hispanics having more than 30% and the rest being African-American, Asian and other minorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Crossing to the European continent, we see that the country with the most Latinos after the United States is Spain and narrowing our focus to the Mexican community, it is more than obvious that a large majority have settled in this country. However, very large populations can be found in Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Italy with smaller groupings in countries such as the Czech Republic, Austria, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
