Wouldn’t Portugal be a more appropiate comparison for Brazil?
I suspect that more Argentinians live in Barcelona than in many cities in Argentina itself.
Spain has 7 times less population than the US so in % almost every nationality is more represented in Spain than in the US, with the exception of mexicans probably.
So, if your country was an important Spanish colony or Chile you go to the US, if your country was a backwater afterthought of Spanish colonialism you go to Spain.
Shouldn’t Brazil be US vs Portugal?
I think this data representation would be better if it used a color scale to represent the difference between the two (and potentially brightness for total number, but maybe not).
With this binary of „more“ it’s hard to say how significant any of it is. It could be the case that all the countries hover around 49.9% / 50.1% and this representation makes it seem like a more extreme difference.
These statistics are very obsolete, it is from 2019. Since then Peruvian, Colombian, Venezuelan migration to Spain has boomed, though according to US statistics still there are more people living in the US from said countries than Spain.
Not terribly surprising.
The United States has a *total* population roughly seven times larger than Spain–even if the proportion of migrants were the same in each country, you’d expect to see a bunch more in the U.S.
There are more Spanish-speakers, total, in the United States than there are *people* in Spain.
Every country in South America is thousands of miles closer to the continental United States than Iberia, and there isn’t the breadth of the Atlantic Ocean separating North and South America.
And the United States has certainly had more involvement (cough) in the government of most Central and South American countries over the last century than Spain (or Portugal) has….
Interesting comparison.
If you replace Spain with EU it will be comparable in the wider scheme.
One is a walk, the other a swim across an ocean… Witch is more likely you think
Also Brazilians speak Portugese, not Spanish…
They also become citizens after 2 years….
Maybe my train of thought is flawed (?) but shouldn’t it be Portugal for countries like Brazil? They speak Portuguese right
Seems like non former Spanish colonies shouldn’t be included in this because what would be their connection to Spain? Brazil, Guyana, Suriname and some of the Caribbean countries in red should be compared to the countries they were former colonies of.
Shouldn’t this be shown per capita? They aren’t near the same size or with the same population…
Argentina and Uruguay are 100% more Spain than US because a shit ton of them had a great great great great grandparent born in Italy and they never set foot in Italy after getting their citizenship. They just move to Spain.
This makes my brain wobble
US vs. EU could also be interesting to see
Spain is quite small compared to the US. I’m somewhat surprised that Spain won any of the countries.
We could look at this from a class based angle too. The 4 countries that have more migrants to Spain have a large population of rich people with European ancestry. Making it easier for them to move further over to Spain.
Well considering that Puerto Rico is a territory thats on the Caribbean,if it were to be included it would be painted in red.
