[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do any Puerto Ricans actually disagree? That's why they all moved here right?[/quote]

I'm pretty sure that "all" Puerto Ricans didn't move here, just as "all Europeans" didn't move here.

And that's not even a proper comparison, given PR is a U.S. territory.[/quote]

All is a bit of an exaggeration but nearly 2/3rds of all Puerto Ricans live stateside. Obviously a lot of them don't think highly of the island.

It would be as if 300+ million Europeans up and moved here in a few generations leaving only a skeleton crew behind. Then being defensive about their abandoned homelands. [/quote]

You think people moved because they hate the island? No. They moved for opportunity. My mother moved after graduating because Montgomery Country at that time recruited good students and gave financial support to get master and doctoral degrees in education. She misses her home, and we have relatives who will never leave.

I honestly wish non-Puerto Ricans would keep their mouths shut forever. Even a ‘liberal supporter’ gleefully repeated the slurs from Trump’s rally because I slammed her vicious worthless self for attacking me, because I dared point out that the problems on the island have always, always, been made worse by US policy towards Puerto Rico. It’s frustrating as hell. [/quote]
