Most Latinos show moderate attachment to their home countries Most Latino immigrants maintain some kind of connection to their native country by sending money, making visits or calling relatives, according to the Pew Hispanic Center’s 2006 National Survey of Latinos. The extent of their attachment varies considerably. Only 10 percent do all three of the transnational activities; 28 percent do none. Sixty-three percent show moderate attachment to their home countries by engaging in one or two of the activities. The survey revealed that there are significant differences in the level of attachment based on country of origin. Colombians and Dominicans maintained more active connections than Mexicans; Cubans have the least contact.
