The thing is eastern Europeans can easily go to Western Europe while White Latin Americans live relatively good lives taking full advantage of extremely unequal societies, regressive taxes, cheap labour and low competitive environment. Moreover, they are about to decline and the bulk of them live in the southern portions of South America, far away from the US or Western Europe, so no mass immigration is likely.

That's true. A lot of people in the Ukraine are desperate to leave but why go with the trouble to get to the US when the EU is right next door. Not just Western Europe but also tons of immigrants from the former USSR in Poland and the Czech Republic.
