You may not remember this, but at one time in America, all the PR citizens that lived in NYC, were afforded free air trips back and forth to their beloved island!

The issue of statehood for Puerto Rico, should be one really questioned, considering its location in the yearly march of hurricanes. The issue SHOULD be on the November ballot as an open referendum for ALL CITIZENS, as defined by the Constitution, to have a say. It should NOT be as a vote of Hispanic/non-Hispanic. Puerto Rico has had some of the benefits of being a U.S. property, but no taxes have ever been levied against the inhabitants of the island.
