Damn, did Puerto Ricans stop comin to America all of a sudden?
i don't think puerto ricans are considered foreign born in the united states because PR is technically a territory of the u.s. rather than an independent nation.
it would be interesting if puerto rican-born residents of the states could somehow be added to the original post in spite of the fact that they're technically not foreign born.
for what it's worth, i do believe puerto rican migration to the continental u.s. has slowed down in recent years, although that's a whole other topic unrelated to this thread.
Yes Puerto Ricans, even if born in Puerto Rico, have been deemed US citizens since 1917 it seems. I remember a New Yorker on a different board complaining about "illegal immigrants from Puerto Rico" and being embarrassed when he learned there's no such thing.
Interestingly at first I thought this was going to include immigration from other states and territories to certain major cities, but it's just about foreign immigration.
hell yeah it looks like it to, lol i went to phillly last week and i was surprised to see plenty of Dominicans their. i always assumed philly had more haitiains but i guess i was wrong.
Yea, they all settle in Washington Heights (Quisqeya) lol. And Philly always struck me as mainly black/white, with a few Asians/Puerto Ricans thrown in. I only think Haitian when I think Miami and maaaaybe New Orleans.

lol i dont think new orleans has much Haitians , but florida , boston , and nyc are the top 3 haitian cities though, especially miami , and boston, but theirs a lot of haitian areas throughout the east coast. and we are growing in the atl.
Lol there's barely any "real" Italians in NYC, literally none in Boston and Philly. Wow.
All second or third generation these days, I am first born generation in the States, there are a ton of us, but few are moving here, hell when I go back I know why
You can still hear Italian being spoken in certain areas but that too is becoming less and less prominant
If you want astonishing, look at the Mexicans in LA!!!!
