Question: How many square miles is the country that provided the most legal immigrants to the city where most Jamaicans live in the U.S. from the region serving as the middle leg of the journey from England to Africa to the Americas?

<P0-S0> The Dominican Republic is the second - largest Caribbean nation by area (after Cuba) at 48,445 square kilometers (18,705 sq mi), and third by population with approximately 10 million people, of which approximately three million live in the metropolitan area of Santo Domingo, the capital city. <P0-S1> The Dominican Republic (Spanish: República Dominicana (reˈpuβliˌka ðoˌminiˈkana)) is a country located in the island of Hispaniola, in the Greater Antilles archipelago of the Caribbean region. <P0-S2> It occupies the eastern five - eighths of the island, which it shares with the nation of Haiti, making Hispaniola one of two Caribbean islands, along with Saint Martin, that are shared by two countries. <SEP> <P1-S0> Ecuador, Colombia, Guyana, Peru, and Brazil were the top source countries from South America for legal immigrants to the New York City region in 2013; the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Haiti, and Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean; Egypt, Ghana, and Nigeria from Africa; and El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala in Central America. <P1-S1> Amidst a resurgence of Puerto Rican migration to New York City, this population had increased to approximately 1.3 million in the metropolitan area as of 2013. <SEP> <P2-S0> The largest proportion of Jamaicans live in New York City, which has various other Caribbean cultural elements such as food and music. <P2-S1> Jamaican Americans are Americans who have full or partial Jamaican ancestry. <P2-S2> There are also communities of Jamaican Americans residing in Philadelphia, Boston, South Florida, Tampa, Los Angeles, Orlando, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Cleveland, Western New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey. <SEP> <P3-S0> north dakota is in the u.s. region known as the great plains. <P3-S1> the state shares the red river of the north with minnesota to the east. <P3-S2> south dakota is to the south, montana is to the west, and the canadian provinces of saskatchewan and manitoba are to the north. <P3-S3> north dakota is situated near the middle of north america with a stone marker in rugby, north dakota marking the ``geographic center of the north american continent ''. <P3-S4> with an area of 70,762 square miles (183,273 km), north dakota is the 19th largest state. <SEP> <P4-S0> ``show me the way to go home ''is a popular song written in 1925 by the pseudonymous`` irving king'' (the english songwriting team james campbell and reginald connelly). <P4-S1> the song is said to have been written on a train journey from london by campbell and connelly. <P4-S2> they were tired from the traveling and had a few alcoholic drinks during the journey, hence the lyrics. <P4-S3> the song is in common use in england, ireland, scotland, wales and north america. <SEP> <P5-S0> Historically the particular routes were also shaped by the powerful influence of winds and currents during the age of sail. <P5-S1> For example, from the main trading nations of Western Europe it was much easier to sail westwards after first going south of 30 N latitude and reaching the so - called ``trade winds ''; thus arriving in the Caribbean rather than going straight west to the North American mainland. <P5-S2> Returning from North America, it is easiest to follow the Gulf Stream in a northeasterly direction using the westerlies. <P5-S3> A similar triangle to this, called the volta do mar was already being used by the Portuguese, before Christopher Columbus' voyage, to sail to the Canary Islands and the Azores. <P5-S4> Columbus simply expanded the triangle outwards, and his route became the main way for Europeans to reach, and return from, the Americas.
