We send more welfare money to Puerto Rico every year than we send Israel. Usually TEN times as much - $33 billion. What do we get for it? Bad Bunny.

Must be because Puerto Ricans are secretly controlling the government

The United States does not send “foreign aid” to Puerto Rico
because it is an “American territory,” not a foreign country.

Puerto Rico receives federal tax dollars annually, including
for social safety net programs and federal disaster relief.

Unlike Israel which gets hundreds of billions but pays
nothing to the US, Puerto Ricans pay federal taxes.
