Why is Miami called the capital of Latin America?

Answer 1

Miami is called the capital of Latin America because it's the only major city with a majority population of Hispanics. In recent years Cubans have been joined by Puerto Ricans, Nicaraguans, Salvadorans, Colombians, Guatemalans and Haitians. The Brazilians, discovered Miami with a vengeance and, now jokingly call it "Brazil's fastest growing city." Last year their were so many that Portuguese became the predominant language among shopkeepers in downtown Miami. Recently Argentines have arrived in large numbers.
