Puerto Rican Migration to the United States

Unlike Puerto Ricans who emigrated to the United States, unlike Puerto Ricans, Puerto Ricans did not have a lot of land. However, an American white man affected two people. Mexicans will lose southwestern land to Anglo. The Guadeloupe Convention will create harsh environments for Mexicans who are not equal citizens. Caucasi enters the southwest and occupies the land that formerly belonged to the Mexican. Like Mexican struggle, for Puerto Rico, the Convention has begun to establish a new relationship with the United States.

Because Puerto Rico is the territory of the island of the United States, entry of Puerto Rico into the United States is legal. Therefore, Puerto Ricans who immigrate to the mainland are American citizens, so they are not international immigrants. Because their country was not a sovereign state but a territory of the United States, Puerto Ricans did not cross international borders on a trip to the mainland (J. Duany, 2002). They allow them to move to the US without a passport or visa and return to their island country after their taste and seasonal work ("Puerto Rico", 1998). Puerto Ricans as US citizens can not be deported after seasonal labor

Even in the early stages of Puerto Rico's immigration to the United States, the agricultural sector was an aggressive employer of temporary or seasonal immigration. Thousands of Puerto Ricans moved to the mainland in the 1940s and 1960s and worked on a farm in Florida. Farms raising to Puerto Ricans hired them because they were under cheap labor. The seasonal immigrants on the farm in Florida are working on the harvesters of vegetables and fruits such as avocados, beans, tomatoes, lettuce, potatoes, corn and others. Because their working hours are only during the winter, during the summer several immigrants Puerto Ricans travel north there to work on the farm. Most immigrants return to Puerto Rico at the end of the farm (JR Duany, FM)

The seasonal movement of Puerto Ricans working in the US agricultural sector is that they adapt to their shrinking economy. Labor contracts accepted by Puerto Ricans are their means to feed hungry families. There are two seasonal goals for accepting work in America. The first is a means to support the family economically. Second, they use this season's migration as an opportunity to settle in the mainland. Emigration continues as Puerto Rico's economy, employment and living environment are not good
