I live in Puerto Rico and. I preferred statehood, but I've realized Americans do not like us so we need to become independent.
I prefer to be poor and not a burden that be middle class and a burden for a great country like USA is. Also, we will probably not do well in the Second American Civil War.
The issue is that decades ago most Puerto Ricans would support independence, and many fought for it, but Americans didn't give it to us, instead they gave us citizenship, so now the process will be a lot harder.
> Will we have our own coin? > We will be a republic or socialist state (believe it or not, we do not like socialism)? > Will it takes decades? > What will happen to American citizenship of Puerto Ricans? Will Americans wait for all Americans on the island to die out or rewrite the constitution to take their citizenship? > Will we do as good as Chile and Bahamas, or as bad as Venezuela? > What will happen to Puerto Rican soldiers in USA? So many questions.
I hope that Puerto Rico gets its independence, however, I hate that Puerto Ricans are so leftist.
But Beatriz Rosselló is hot :3

Culturally, we are not Left wing. We opposed gay marriage, for example.
We do have some left wing economic policies that made us worse, but not different from those in the USA. The problem is that they affected us more because we are a colony.
The most damage in the island was caused by corruption. Sadly.
But we are recovering and people are being more populist as in the USA.
I also support your independence, and the immediate return of all your countrymen back to your island homeland. That means anyone brown with a Puerto Rican flag hanging from their rear-view mirror will have two weeks to return home.

I wish you the best PRbro, I have visited your country and poverty aside it is beautiful, old San Juan is charming please convince your countrymen to move home, they refuse to learn english even after all these years t. new yorker
Charles Sanchez
just remember to return the boats they get sent back on

I have no problem with that, but your white ancestors fucked up when they gave us citizenship.
So don't blame us for what your retarded ancestors did.
Courts will probably favor Puerto Ricans as Americans, so it will be impossible to take away their American citizenship, even if that would be good for Puerto Rico because we need our professionals back.
Sadly, the worst Puerto Ricans move to New York and Florida.
Working Puerto Ricans like me do not move because we have a job and responsibilities.
Please don't judge us all for those stupid idiots.
It is just as the leftist Californians moving to Texas.
Just remember to return us our contribution to social security.

i dont hate them, but i dont want them here, and certainly not paying for them. the stupid fucking flags are awful, we can tell you are not american. nobody cares what brown shithole you come from, you all look the same and should be sent back where you fucking came from. same should go for anyone flying a foreign flag, fuck off back to where you came from
ownig a bodega or sandwich stand doesnt make you a professional

> Puerto Ricans want independence > Puerto Ricans fight for independence > They lose > Americans give them citizenship instead > Americans want now them independent > Now Puerto Ricans do not want to be independent
Nah, it is an independent found. Courts favor Puerto ricans on that issue.
Gavin Anderson
My one idea always has been after independence, to open trade talks with RD, Cuba and Jamaica with the ultimate goal of creating the United States of the Antilles.
Kayden Mitchell
i would want to be independent.
i just get sick of seeing the stupid bumper stickers (90% of the time its spaghetti niggers or puetro ricans) i doubt theyve ever been to to their homelands, its just fucking rude
i dont even know if this chick is puerto rican, because i cant tell any of you apart, except the fat disgusting mexicans
Our funding fathers had that plan in mind.That's why the Puerto Rican flag looks so much alike the Cuban flag.
I would not have problem with that, but I would restrict free movement of people until all states get to a similar economic level, to prevent them flooding Puerto Rico.
I do not want Haiti and probably DR will not like them either.
But it is not a bad idea on the long run to make a supra state with other Caribbean countries and territories.
I will approve of your independence. Also, no screamies the next disaster you have.
Levi Diaz
>i doubt theyve ever been to to their homelands, its just fucking rude
Sorry they are a mess for you, but sadly those are the most likely Puerto Ricans to stay in the USA if the island becomes independent.
I agree with you, but why you hate all of us for those idiots? BTW, we have the American flag and we respect it as long as we are part of you.
Just as the leftist in San Francisco are leaving their shitty city to invade better places like Texas, those Puerto Ricans are the worst, r-selected, idiots.
