Honduran diaspora
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Since 1975 emigration from Honduras has accelerated as economic migrants and political refugees seek a better life elsewhere. Although many Hondurans have many relatives in Nicaragua, Spain, Mexico, El Salvador and Canada, the majority of Hondurans living abroad are in the United States.

Nowadays, most Hondurans migrate because of the political persecution, unemployment, and poverty that has affected the country since the 1990s. However, many Hondurans have succeeded abroad; examples include Steve Van Buren, Sir. Salvador Moncada, Carlos Mencia, Henry Flores, and Gerald Young.
