Symposium PresentationMigration and Transcultural PsychiatryReview / Opinion # Discussion of Latin American migration and cross-cultural psychiatry Discussion on latin american migration and transcultural psychiatry Presenter: Sergio Javier J. Villaseñor Bayardo Country: Mexico Session: 3730 - INTERNAL AND CROSS-BORDER MIGRATION IN THE AMERICAS: DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES ON MENTAL HEALTH IMPACT Date: Fri, 25.09.2026, 14:15 - 14:30 Room: Victoria Hall It is argued that building a wall to prevent migration is pointless and that the social reality of Latin American migration to the United States, spanning more than a century, needs to be made visible. The aim of the talk is to demonstrate how pointless it is to build a wall to prevent migration and to raise awareness of the significance of Latin American migration to the United States. Among the most common characteristics of the Hispanic population in the United States are low income, low educational attainment, high unemployment rates, being the second-largest incarcerated population after African Americans, and having the highest number of households. More notable from a sociocultural perspective is that Mexicans and other Latin Americans show the slowest pace and lowest level of adaptation to what is known as the "American way of life." According to a report by the conservative Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, this trend persists even though immigrants who arrived in the past 25 years have adapted more quickly than their counterparts a century ago. In conclusion, Latin American migration to North America is described as a large-scale phenomenon that has been part of the global landscape for more than a hundred years.
