If you’re a proud Puerto Rican, why are you living in the continental United States?

I've been to PR many times. Just because they have citizenship for being a common wealth does not make it any where near The USA. Its so different there on every level. I personally love it! But they have a VERY corrupt government!!

That is the same attitude that has kept PR from becoming a state in the past! Now because they can't afford to keep being independent they want to be a state!🤔 With that attitude be a Puerto Rican on a island of squalor with zero help from the US when the next hurricane hits or the power goes out! Nothing to be proud about when all you do is have your hand out!🤔 Stay classy PR🙏

I think Puerto Rico should be made into a state. There is no reason they should have their own culture or identity. They should be Americans or they should stand on their own.

Estados Unidenses. That is the real name. America is not a country its a continent. South Americans are Brazilians Argentines and Colomians are South Americans. Fact Columbus didn't discover because he never came to America. He discovered Latin America. Ponce de Leon discovered America. The pilgrims landed one hundred years later. Get your facts straight

Puerto Ricans are actually not Americans they have America citizenship of course but there are millions of people in the United States of America that are citizens of this country but they're not American, they're immigrants from whatever part of the world their parents and grandparents fled from, the only true Americans are actually Foundational Black because we're the only people that were here before their was a United States of America and we built the country from scratch and White Americans who conquered the land everyone else is a fleeing immigrant that fled to America for financial considerations not for the love of> 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲.

I am a proud Puerto Rican but it doesn't mean that I am going to go cuckoo for coco puffs. inam Latino am not black nor white I am a mixed breed of people. My El difunto was Boriqua but he understand was America was able to for him and his family, a veteran of this country he made sure his coffin was draped with both flags. You need to stop that hate. That is going to divide us. Hasta la muerte

When I was in the military. I served with several troops from different walks of life. I can honestly say Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican and troops from Guam all looked alike. Just like Korean, Japanese and Chinese Americans serving. How ever we were all AMERICAN. PS: Never call or mistake a Mexican for a Cuban. Could get you extra KP duties in basic training. 😆
