I got that, just throwing in some realism for the average reader.
amazing huh!!!
Wow.
I had. a similar thought
Galt Island?
I’d retire there...
Beat me to it!
[ They elected Republican Luis Fortuño Governor in 2008, but he lost reelection to Democrat Alejandro García Padilla in 2012. ]
Well, there is your problem...
MST3K - Progress Island U.S.A. (a.k.a., Puerto Rico) {1973 short}
Answer: They are owned and operated by big spending, big government, big taxing Democrat regimes.
Notice that Puerto Rico, like their large American mainland counterparts, is circling the drain as the result of Democratic policies coming to full fruition. Those who can are bailing out of Puerto Rico as its death spiral accelerates. The writing is on the wall for all who will see, but the Democrat true believers in socialism-Marxism will not see it. They will go on and on until things crash and burn.
Serious question...
Is the US just going to allow people from other countries to come here because they can’t find jobs where they live???
We have millions of US citizens who can’t find jobs!
Lets make them the next state. (Said by libtards).
******************************
That’s because they want the income tax revenue. The folks in PR are not so dumb, as they keep refusing US statehood.
Puerto Rico is part of the US, those are all US citizens
*************************
Since they refuse to become a State, they pay no income tax to the US.
Who needs legal US Puerto Rico when we can import millions of illegals to take American jobs from central America???? Besides. Illegals vote democrat. Puerto Ricans aren’t reliable democrat voters.
Gee, thought they hated us and wanted independence...
Guess when push comes to shove, they like their good ol’ Uncle Sugar after all.
Puerto Rico my hearts devotion let it sink back in the ocean.
Puerto Rico had special tax incentives for corporations that boosted the economy. Congress did away with those and a lot of business and employment was lost. Add drugs and a spendthrift government and you have the recipe for the disaster now evident
Money is all used up time to abandon ship and get some free obama sh## on the mainland
Just what we need, more illegals that can’t speak English.
We spent Christmas week in western PR on the north shore a few years ago. Drugs, drugs and more drugs.
Used syringes in the street outside our rental house. Very few English speakers anywhere.
Other than Yankee money, it was hard to guess there was any connection to the US.
