There are absolute tons of Spanish people in the Americas (I'm not sure if the "America" you meant USA or the Americas). But they don't illegally immigrate so as americans we see them less. But pretty much every famous hispanic is of spanish descent. Shakira, white. Demi Lavato, white. Selena Gomez, white. AOC, whiiiiiiiiite. Ted Cruz, white. Marc Antony, white, Pitbull, white. It's funny that the spanish were far more brutal than the british but their descendants get a free pass.
I know there are. My mother's side is descended entirely from one Spanish idiot (that's family canon) who found himself in Louisiana and bought a bunch of unsettlable swamp land no one wanted.
But we aren't speaking Spanish, so like the rest of America we are just "white." America has very few recent Spain immigrants to have a concept of them and their place in the common consciousness. Most of them are likely clustered on the East Coast (aka New York City) like the rest of the European immigrants meaning the rest of the country never sees a single one, much like Asians outside the West Coast.
So when you say "Spanish" the first thing people think of is the language, not the people. And when you think of a Spanish-speaker its a brown Latino, not some Iberian immigrant. And for most of the country that's a 99% accurate assumption, because nobody really cares what flavor of white we are.
We don't have many direct from Spain, but there are tons of in the Americas from the Americas who are descended from Spanish people that didn't interbreed with Indians. Puerto Ricans are mostly white. Cubans are mostly white. Brazil's pretty white. Mexicans and Columbians with higher social status are mostly white.
I was mostly going off USA America instead of the full double continent. I should have clarified that part.
The rest of the double continent has a bit of a different story considering they are all Spanish colonies. If there is anything not Spanish there its an oddity, like the Japanese in Brazil.
So it would be nations of just Spanish brancos and Spanish pardos, with a small amount of indigenous/black left.
