We "won" Puerto Rico from the Spanish in 1898.

Can't we just give it back?

You have to realize that most Puerto Ricans in government learned their skills n NYC. This means it’s all about unions and corruption.

They need a couple of Senators for representation. And, it will give them a sense of responsibility, which will mature them and damp down their corruption. Same for DC.

You know, if we just sent more federal money to Puerto Rico, it would just get stolen.

Gov. Ricardo Rossello said his administration “will not tolerate or be an accomplice to any act of corruption wherever it occurs.”
I hate to tell you this Governor but that kind of talk calls for an immediate investigation into your administration.
