Argentine People in The World
In the past five years, an estimated 300,000 people have left. An estimated 1,500,000 Argentines were living abroad as of March 2005, double the number from 1985. In 2004, 157,323 native-born Argentines were living in Spain, up from 64,020 in 1999. In Italy, the stock of Argentine citizens nearly doubled in the period 1999–2003, from 5,725 to 11,266. Canada has also seen a marked increase in Argentine immigration: up from 455 permanent residents in 2000 to 1,783 in 2003. More significantly perhaps, Argentina has risen in the ranks of top Latin American source countries to Canada, from 13th to 5th in that same time period. The United States is one country that has experienced an increase in Argentine immigration flows over the last decade, with over 60 percent living in just three states: California, Florida, and New York. The majority of permanent immigrants enter under family reunification provisions, whereas most temporary immigrants enter the United States as specialty workers, exchange visitors, and intracompany transferees.

—Mary Church Terrell (1863–1954)
“Just as rotten wood cannot be used for pillars, so base people cannot become masters.”
—Chinese proverb.
“It seems to me that we do not know nearly enough about ourselves; that we do not often enough wonder if our lives, or some events and times in our lives, may not be analogues or metaphors or echoes of evolvements and happenings going on in other people?—or animals?—even forests or oceans or rocks?—in this world of ours or, even, in worlds or dimensions elsewhere.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
