Is there any we can give this place back to Spain ,its rightful owners? That is, if they would take it.

There’s actually many people here (me included, even if I am an all-American patriot, veteran and upstanding citizen) who believe that we have earned the right to end the American Apartheid that is the current limbo “unincorporated territory” and if the United States finally does not want us as full citizens, then yes, we should be returned to Spain. In 1898 we were first class Spanish citizens with direct vote for our government and full representation in the Cortes, and Puerto Rico was a full-fledged Overseas Province of Spain. After the Spanish-American war we went back to being a colony, which to this day continues to be an embarrassment for the so-called Constitutional Republic form of government we all hail.

What does a company do when they have no need for a particular office or personnel: they cut them loose. So, say buona fortuna to them. Some did want their independence, they shot up the Congress and tried to assassinate a president in support of that goal. Give them their wish.

Isn't it time to give up on the same old and tired, nonsensical rhetoric about something that is NEVER going to happen?
