Question

what makes the puerto rican experience unique from other latino groups?
a many well - to - do puerto ricans fled their nation to the united states after its democratically elected government was overthrown during a communist revolution in 1959.
b after world war ii puerto rico underwent a major building boom attracting many mainland u.s. whites to relocate to the island thus driving up housing prices and prompting many puerto ricans to move to the dominican republic.
c it was the only latino group to become part of the united states by military conquest.
d as u.s. citizens, puerto ricans can move back - and - forth between the island of puerto rico and mainland united states with no concern of immigration laws.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • Option A: The 1959 communist revolution was in Cuba, not Puerto Rico.
  • Option B: After World War II, Puerto Rico had an industrialization drive (Operation Bootstrap), not a building boom that made Puerto Ricans move to the Dominican Republic.
  • Option C: Puerto Rico became a U.S. territory through the Treaty of Paris (1898) after the Spanish - American War, not just by military conquest in the sense of ongoing military action for incorporation. Also, other Latino - related areas like parts of the Southwest (e.g., areas from the Mexican - American War) have a history with the U.S. through territorial acquisition.
  • Option D: Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens (granted in 1917 by the Jones - Shafroth Act). As U.S. citizens, they can move freely between Puerto Rico (a U.S. territory) and the U.S. mainland without immigration restrictions, which is a unique aspect compared to many other Latino groups (e.g., Mexican - Americans have a different historical trajectory with more complex immigration - related issues in some time periods, and other Latino groups like Dominicans, until they naturalize, have immigration processes).

Answer:

D. As U.S. citizens, Puerto Ricans can move back - and - forth between the island of Puerto Rico and mainland United States with no concern of immigration laws.
