Mexican immigration to Uruguay comprises people born in Mexico and who live in Uruguay, or Uruguayan-born people of Mexican descent.
Overview
There are some Mexican-born persons living in Uruguay, for a number of reasons. Both countries share the Spanish language; their historical origins are common (part of the Spanish Empire). Uruguay is a very small, quiet country, where Mexican people have looked for a new opportunity,[1] as part of a big inflow of Hispanic Americans coming to Uruguay.[2]
The 2011 Uruguayan census revealed 601 people declaring Mexico as their country of birth.[3] As of 2013, there were just 60 Mexicans registered in the Uruguayan social security.[4]
