Many Ecuadorians have migrated to the United States in search of better

economic opportunities and to pursue the American Dream. For some, the
American Dream may mean achieving financial stability, purchasing a home, or
providing a better life for their families.

However, the pursuit of the American Dream can also present challenges for
Ecuadorian immigrants, including language barriers, discrimination, and
difficulty assimilating into a new culture. Additionally, not all Ecuadorian
immigrants may have equal access to the resources and opportunities necessary
to achieve their version of the American Dream.

The percentage of Latin Americans who go to the United States varies

depending on the time period and specific country or region in question. In
general, there has been a trend of increasing immigration from Latin America to
the United States over the past several decades, with some periods experiencing
larger influxes than others.

According to data from the Migration Policy Institute, in 2019, approximately 42.5
million immigrants were living in the United States, representing about 13% of the total
U.S. population. Of these, an estimated 51% were from Latin America and the
Caribbean, with Mexico being the largest single country of origin at 24%.

Syria's war began in 2011 when protests against President Bashar al-Assad's regime
were met with violent crackdowns. The conflict soon turned into a full-blown civil war,
with various opposition groups and foreign powers supporting different sides. The war
has caused widespread devastation, displacement, and humanitarian suffering, with an
estimated 400,000 people killed and millions displaced. As of 2021, the conflict is
ongoing, with Assad's government retaining control over much of the country.
