How big is the Dominican population in Houston? (Commerce, Miami: how much, to buy)

According to the census, as of 2015 there are 6,324 Argentines here. That would account for .03% of Houston's Hispanic community.

Argentinians would say that there's no more Argentinians in Houston because Houston only needs a few thousand of them

There are roughly 20,000 Venezuelans in Houston as of 2015.

Even though Houston's Venezuelans population is growing, its not going to really increase in percentage of the Latino Community as a whole. The reason for that is because Houston's Mexican, Salvadoran, and Colombian populations are bigger and growing faster. In 2014, Houston got the below numbers from each country:

Mexico: 7,679
El Salvador: 1,669
Colombia: 866
Venezuela: 725

Disagree,
The last two years Venezuela has gotten really bad and people are getting out of there fast

True, but well over 80% of them end up in South Florida. Houston may have the 2nd largest Venezuelan population in the US, but it still doesn't get the lions share.

They may pass Colombians in terms of immigration number, but they won't get to El Salvador, much less Mexico numbers.

Even then the Colombian population is 150% larger than the Venezuelan population here.

If and only if, these numbers pertain to just the city of Houston then I believe it. If this is greater Houston numbers, I say hell no. Colombians have not moved in faster than Venezuelans have. Not saying the data you found didn't have those numbers, but the data is simply incorrect. I'm not spilling beans but I don't think you have any idea how many Venezuelans have gotten here, and if the data doesn't have them down they just haven't found them. I think that number is very inaccurate unless it's just talking about the city of Houston. Because most Venezuelans reside in Katy, then Spring and a few in Sharpstown. I myself go to Venezuela often, and Houston is spoken of almost as much as Miami is in terms of people leaving the country. Like I said, I'm not saying the data didn't have those numbers. But if it did, it's just completely inaccurate, and isn't finding the thousands of "hidden" Venezuelans moving in.

My dad is a Pastor of a big church in NYC in a heavy Dominican part of NYC and quite a few members from his church moved into that area. There's a great Dominican restaurant that we go to in the Willowbrook Mall called Punta Cana that's worth the 45 minute drive from our house!

I think these numbers are based purely on people who just moved from Venezuela and Columbia. Now, you may have had many move here from elsewhere like California though.

Yeah. Agreed I know some of them actually that have came from florida. That's what I'm saying Petermonjello is talking like he knows the whole immigration and everything that happens in it. I know the immigration first hand.
