Why did Puerto Rican families send their children to New York?
Upvote:2
Because if they can make it there they can make it anywhere. Saying "because there were already a lot of Puerto Ricans" there doesn't answer the question. That said, New York was and is the great city on the east coast, it's what anyone would choose, even the first Puerto Rican. Then it would snowball because of perhaps relatives or at least fellow Puerto Ricans being there to help in the relocation. But the main thing is New York being the place to be, and an international city (yes I know PR is part of the US). Washington DC and Atlanta, sure they're great now, but then not so much.
