摘要：Migration flows and their social, political and cultural consequences are undergoing change. Although the Latins who migrate to the United States have different cultural origins and have different ways of relating to their respective homelands, the most notable common characteristic is a weakening of their national identity and their transformation into North American Latins. Even though those immigrating from El Salvador, or any other Latin American migrant group, are reluctant to accept the global identification as Latin, all the institutions of the society force it on them. This requires us to rethink the way in which we analyze migratory flows and process economic, cultural and criminal remittances.
