The Republicans would get two new safe Republican Senators!

For the next two days almost every sector of Puerto Rican society—from San Juan’s Catholic Archbishop, Roberto González Nieves, to Ricardo Santos, head of the Electrical Workers Union, from ex-Gov. Rafael Henández Colón to Rubén Berríos, president of the Puerto Rican Independence Party—to one degree or another publicly criticized or condemned the FBI for killing Filiberto Ojeda Ríos. All the people mentioned here personally viewed the body and expressed their condolences to Rosado.
Even Tomás Rivera Shatz, titular head of the pro-statehood New Progressive Party, publicly questioned the FBI’s judgment and actions, apparently for politically opportunistic reasons.
On Sept. 24, some 29 hours after they had invaded the home of Ojeda and Rosado, the FBI finally announced that they had killed him. His body was transferred to the Forensic Unit of the Puerto Rico Police Department.
There, hundreds of people gathered in the streets.

I think this is how they are going to solve the immigration problem; all of the disenfranchised illegal Mexicans will be made honorary citizens of PR-and won’t even have to set foot on it-then they will be able to vote etc.
With these people, you can’t just think outside the box; you have to think outside of the ROOM!
