When did Honduras immigrants come to the US?

Honduran immigration to the United States began in significant numbers in the 1980s, during a period of political and economic instability in Honduras. The influx increased due to the civil war in the country, which lasted from 1979 to 1992. During this period, many Hondurans sought refuge in the United States to escape violence and persecution. The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 provided legal status to many undocumented Honduran immigrants who had arrived before 1982, and this also encouraged further migration. Honduras continues to be a source of immigration to the United States, with people seeking better economic opportunities, reunification with family members, and improved security conditions.
