Upon leaving the entrance of any given train station in The Bronx, one can immediately hear Salsa music blaring from an open car window or storefront boom box. The smell of lechon asado fills your lungs with every breath as you listen to the harmonious voices of the people around you speaking Spanish all at the same time. Looking in all directions it is not hard to find this community's symbol of pride and pure love for their homeland- the Puerto Rican flag waving gracefully in the wind.New York has always been considered the gate of opportunity to immigrants all over the world, this includes the citizens of Puerto Rico. Puerto Ricans have been immigrating to New York since 1838, before they were even granted United States citizenship (Hosay 40). Since then the number of Puerto Ricans moving to the Bronx has taken an interesting turn. In 1910 only 500 people of Puerto Rican descent maintained residences in New York City (Hosay 40), this number skyrocketed to an astounding 817,000 in 1970, of those about 40 percent of them lived in the Bronx according to Philip M. Hosay in his essay "The Puerto Rican Experience." The Bronx continued and continues to be a very dense region of Puerto Ricans despite the lowering numbers. According to the 2000 census, 57 percent of Hispanics in New York State live in the borough of The Bronx, and 319,000 of them are Puerto Ricans. This is down from the 1990 census when the Puerto Rican population of The Bronx was 349,115.The Puerto Ricans of The Bronx do not seem to be discouraged or even affected by the low numbers ever since their arrival to the mainland and they continue to participate in their rich culture despite mainstream America's view that non-English speakers should fully assimilate into American culture. This is most likely due to the strong presence that they have throughout most of The Bronx and the lack of other ethnic groups in Puerto Rican neighborhoods.

""A relationship is like a rose, How long it lasts, no one knows; Love can erase an awful past, Love can be yours, you'll see at last; To feel that love, it makes you sigh, To have it leave, you'd rather die !!
