Flame war it is, was not my intent either, but you my friend have history all wrong.
Be honest with yourself. Had Puerto Rico not been a U.S. protectorate, the history of the island would have taken a very different course. You claim puerto rico was able to "resist" communism. Yes, you were able to resist the forces of populism and communism, not because you are an enlightened people -which you certainly are quite far from being- but rather the U.S. would never have allowed it.
The level of development you have achieved is owed entirely to the generosity of the U.S. Had the Americans not built up your infrastructure, you people might still be living on trees or ruled by the Taliban.
Pre-Castro Cuba could boast of a world class health system, better wages and a more robust economy than many European countries. I'd like to compare the 1957 socioeconomic statistics of both countries; now that comparison would put your beloved puerto rico to shame.
While hundreds, possibly thousands of Cubans did settle in your island after the Revolution, you conveniently ignore the mass exodus of your brethren to New York in the early part of the 20th century. Why exactly did they leave, o learned boriqua sage? Did they leave with the sole purpose of spreading 'salsa' to the world? Perhaps they left because Puerto Rico was an intolerably awful place to live in during that time; just as Cuba became after Castro took control. Yea, that's why. In fact, didn't you just have a mini-crisis that sent yet another wave of boriquas to Orlando...hmmm......
True enough, Cuba is today an awful place to live in. Unfortunately, this occurred because Latin America suffers from intrinsic flaws in its political DNA. These structural flaws have caused instability from Mexico to Argentina. The only reason these countries haven't suffered the same fate as Cuba is simply that Castro happened to be born on the island. But you wouldn't know anything about that...would you.
Even if Satan himself ruled Cuba I still wouldn't have migrated to puerto rico. Crime rates are high, people are ugly,stupid, rude and have this bad habit of imitating things. Like copying Cuban music, calling it 'salsa' and claiming it as their own invention. No, I can thank God for putting me right here in the U.S. of A.
Do yourself a favor, pick up a history book sometime. I figured you would claim military service, and for that, boriquas all over the world thank you.
