My point is that we've allowed the residents of Puerto Rico to be Americans In Name Only, AINOs, for 100 years.
The residents of Puerto Rico only "want to be U.S. citizens for the benefits," too.
The residents of Puerto Rico don't pay any federal income taxes.
We gift Puerto Rico around $30 billion dollars in cash, tax scams for their businesses and federal and private sector jobs, each year.
The majority of the residents of Puerto Rico have never owned an American Flag, never waved an American Flag and only wave their Puerto Rican Flags at their public events the same as Mexicans with their flags.
Mexico wants the same deal we gave to Puerto Rico.
Mexico is just flat-out taking what we give to Puerto Rico. Mexico wants U.S. Taxpayer's dollars and all of the privileges of American citizenship with none of the responsibilities.
That's exactly what Puerto Rico's been given for 100 years.
How do we explain this double standard?
I am not aware of problems with Puerto Rico, I have never met anyone from Puerto Rico where I live. If you think there is a problem with the current status of Puerto Rico then you need to address that to politicians and ask for change.
I just don't see a connection to the border issues and Puerto Rico.
