documentado que la inestabilidad laboral y econó-
mica, al igual que las expresiones de racismo y dis-
criminación tienen efectos negativos significativos

Envejecimiento
Los inmigrantes latinoamericanos de65años ymás
en Estados Unidos han aumentado su presencia en
in1994 increasing to9and14% in2014, respecti-
vely. On the other hand, rates amongCentral Ame-
rican immigrants remained stable, at 6%. The Latin
American population ages 65 and over rose from
433000 to1379000, increasingby two hundred
percent within this period and representing 6% of
thispopulationgroup.
Part of the reason for the increase in the
number of older immigrants is the decrease in
the number of seasonal migrants who repeatedly
cross the border depending on the availably of
work and eventually retire in their homeland. Im-
migrants now remain longer in the United States
because of the difficulty of crossing the border
without documentation and stiffer border secu-
