john_stark says on Dec 6, 2007, 20:12: I saw Hill Country Village, a little suburb of San Antonio and I thought, WTF? If you do the math, 2.4% of 1,028 people is 24 people. So basically there are a couple of Colombian families living there. This is true of many of the places on that list.

Man Tequila says on Dec 6, 2007, 20:40: That's an American list. London, Ontario has about 2500 Colombians, Toronto many more.

Robert Jorge says on Dec 6, 2007, 20:41: But it is still very interesting. Obviously, the majority of Colombians living in the US are in SE Florida and New Jersey. There were some areas of Miami listed that I didn't even know were incorporated. I thought they were neighborhoods! "You can not take the barrio out of the girl you really can't."

miamimike says on Dec 7, 2007, 01:40: Not surprising these areas in Florida; 3 of my Neighbors alone on my condo floor are Colombian. We also have a couple of Colombian Restaurants in the Neighborhood. I don't see any markings on N.Carolina yet they have quite a few that have relocated from south Florida and the NJ areas to live there due to the Lower Cost of Living in the last few years.

SamGompers says on Dec 7, 2007, 04:42: This list is totally bogus. They rank according to the "percentage" of Colombians . .. so 3 Colombians living in a town of 6 people would quality as 50%! Notice that New York City is hugely under-represented - - with Queens coming in at #73 with 3% for a population over 2 million. If you do the math, that's about 60,000 Colombians compared to around 300 Colombians in "Victory Gardens, NJ," the top spot. To get a more accurate picture, I'd multiply the Queens numbers by a factor of five to include illegal, semi-legal immigrants. You also would have to add in Colombians in Manhattan, the Bronx, and Brooklyn (excluding Staten Island) for an accurate picture of Colombians in NYC.

travelingirl says on Dec 7, 2007, 04:45: Yeah, it would be interesting to just look at it in a pure numbers perspective instead of the percentages.

Colombiche says on Dec 8, 2007, 12:05: I was reading an article on the toronto star this week. It says half the people in the toronto area are born overseas. It actually has a breakdown of where immigrants are born. Latinos make up a very small percentage of that population, let alone colombians. Most of the immigrants in toronto are chinese, followed by Indian. Those two groups alone make up most of the immigrant population. No me den trago extranjero, que es caro y no sabe a bueno....

john_stark says on Dec 8, 2007, 15:32: I must admit I have always thought that Canada was a little wary of Latinos. Have you been to Vancouver? You start looking for someone else on the street who is not Asian after a while.

Colombiche says on Dec 10, 2007, 19:49: "That's what really irks me. I mean, I shouldn't feel hard done by, I didn't even end up trying, but the fact that the Canadian gov. has the audacity to say "we aren't letting your family visit you" is one of the most outrageous and bombastic injustices that I can conceive, in my humble opinion. Who are they to say that?" No me den trago extranjero, que es caro y no sabe a bueno.... (Rafael Godoy) 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

john_stark says on Dec 10, 2007, 20:54: I agree Colombiche. What I would like is for the consular officers of both Canada and the US to act according to clearly stated rules. The way it is how it's really based on whim. They make a lot of bad decisions but they don't care. For example, they gave my brother-in-law a visa but he doesn't own property - he has a job running a small business but that's it. My sister-in-law has an apartment, a high-powered job and a kid that she was going to leave behind in Colombia. No visa for her. It's totally arbitrary.
