Travelling illegally from the Dominican Republic to Puerto Rico can be as dangerous, if not more dangerous, as travelling from Mexico to the United States through the Sonora desert, for example. "Yolas" are extremely small boats made of wood, and sometimes, in order to make more profit, trip planners and ship captains put hundreds of people together in boats that are very unfit for such large amounts of travellers. Most illegal trips to Puerto Rico from the Dominican Republic begin in cities located at the Eastern ...

Chinatowns in Latin America - History. The first Chinese immigrants to Mexico were Philippine-born and brought by the Manila-Acapulco galleon trade.

In contrast, provinces that have suffered severe deformation surround the plateau. Mountain building thrust up the Rocky Mountains to the north and east and tremendous, earth-stretching tension created the Bas ...
