Like most immigrant groups, Latino Americans have stayed in the same tradition to the foods of their homelands. Many shops in small ethnic markets carry special foods used in Latin cooking. When they cook, they follow recipes handed down by their parents and grandparents. Important food companies have lived by supplying Latinos with traditional cooking ingredients.

Hispanic, immigration whether illegal or not, have been very discussed topics during the presidential campaigns. Discussions have all missed the main idea of that United States has always been a Hispanic nation. Many Puerto Ricans arrived in the 1950s. Cubans, Dominicans, Colombians, and Costa Ricans immigrated in the 1960s. It has been part of the nation since it existed. 16% of the population today is immaterial. After world war 2 the Spanish people started to come in. Most of the Hispanic Americans served in the elements of the armed forces. They wanted to give back to the United States for giving them their freedom. They fought in every major American battle in the war. Almost between 250,000 and 500,000 Hispanic Americans served in the U.S. forces in World War 2. Actually, Spanish language and culture became part of the nation of the United States when expanding the West of the Mississippi and South of the Carolinas. For 82 years the U.S. penetrated deeply into the Hispanic circle, annexing or occupying Florida, Texas, Northern Mexico, Puerto Rico, and the Panama Canal zone.
