Abstract
Traditionally, the media tend to focus their attention on the Latino migration in States such as Texas, California, New Mexico, in other words on southern states close to the Mexican border. The East Coast seems to be completely forgotten as it remained as the gateway for the Europeans in America. I will examine the actual shift in terms of history and study the reasons underpinning the tremendous change. Secondly, I will emphasize the geographical implications of the shift within the city, more precisely where the new migrants settled and how the face of New York changed over the decades. Finally, I will address the future of this new wave of migration.
