The problems of Latino integration in the USA: political and socio-economic aspects
Abstract and keywords
Abstract:
The USA is one of the main goals of immigration for many Latinos in search of a happy life. By the year 2050 Latinos should take the first place among the most numerous national groups in the USA. Hence the questions of integration of Latinos in American society have recently played one of the most important roles. This problem is quite broad and is studied from the several angles of the existence of the state: politics, society and economics. The degree of political integration of Latinos in American society is increasing every year, and their influence on the political component of the United States can no longer be ignored. The work also proves the significant and sometimes irreplaceable participation of Latinos in the development of the American economy, based on various statistical data. Moreover, every year Latinos integrate more and more successfully into the American society, which is shown by such indicators as: self-identification, language knowledge, education, immigration and discrimination. Even though Latinos tend to preserve their national roots, they have learned to adapt to American reality.
