    A emigración galega a Porto Rico nos séculos xix e xx é un claro exemplo de migración selectiva, de natureza comercial, protagonizada pola mesocracia das vilas e aldeas circundantes, e articulada arredor das casas de comercio daquela illa, a cal deu orixe á formación de elites socioeconómicas �burguesía- tanto en Porto Rico (peninsular) como en Galicia (indiana). Esta emigración iniciouse de forma regular a partir de 1821, tivo o seu despregamento nas décadas de 1840 e 1850 e medrou de forma sostida ata a fin de século. A partir do cambio de soberanía de 1898 comezou o seu imparable descenso ata que se cortou definitivamente a partir da Lei de cotas de 1921 e se desviou á veciña República Dominicana.

    Galician emigration to Puerto Rico in xix and xx centuries is a clear example of selective migration, commercial, starring the middleclass of the villages and surrounding villages, and articulated around the houses of trade in the Island, which gave rise to the formation of socio economic elites �bourgeoisies� both in Puerto Rico (mainland) as in Galicia (indiana). This emigration was launched on a regular basis from 1821, took off in the decades of 1840 and 1850, and grew steadily until the end of the century. Since the change of sovereignty in 1898, began his unstoppable decline until it was cut off definitively beginning with the Quote Law of 1921, diverted to neighboring Dominican Republic.
