WORDS/Text im from peurto rico and i would love to tell you how me and my family and other puerto ricans immgrated.(new pic) we have had many difficult tasks today so many puerto ricans live in america.(new pic) In the 19 century all the pueurto ricans were always in love with there crops and when a hurricane destroyed all there crops and economy people started to immigrate.(new pic) They immigrated to all diffrent places like newyork, conneticut,and mashechusets.(new pic) The largest wave of immigration was in the 1950s and there was an act the act was Jones-Shafroth Act was an act that made them legal immigrants they were allowed to travel diffrent places without needing a passport from islands and mainlands.9new pic) Back in the day in the 1800s there was ships. ships that made my people get to america but the bad thing was that they only allowed a certain amount of people and they would split up familys young ones from the aldults and they would loose family. (new pic) so us people would only choose to come to america if we were wealthy and had money to be able to bring are family on that ship to america. so not all of us were fortunate to be in america. (new pic) When it came latr those years they allowed more and more people and soo npeople were seperated. but yes you did have to pay for the ships those ships were nasty dirty and they were on the bottom. (new pic) so many people got sick and didnt make it but others who did were very ill there was oders disease and many more dangerous things happening (new pic) now this is how me and the pueorto ricans in my family arrived to wear we are now thatnk you for letting me tell you this story it is very immportant to me and my family
