Did you know that United States invaded Puerto Rico in 1898 and is still oppressing the people and damaging the economy?

Puerto Rico, in several referendums, has chosen to stay a Commonwealth of the US.

Most folks in the 50 states would not have any problem with Puerto Rico choosing to vote to become its own country.

Do YOU know that inspite of all of that alleged oppression and damage, the Puerto Rican people have voted three times in recent memory to remain a territory of the U.S.A.? So what does that say about the Puerto Rican peoples' desire to become an independent country?

I surprised to read the above, as a citizen of USA, and now living in PR, I see the injustice and discrimination towards Puerto Ricans/PR! If the USA doesn t want to give PR the opportunity of becoming a State, then liberate it! I ll tell from experience USA has also gained a lot from PR also, it s a strategical point in the Caribbean for a sole purpose for the US!

No, the US liberated Puerto Rico from 400 years of brutal colonial rule by Spain, introduced the rule of law and the right to vote and self government, something Puerto RIcans never had under the Spanish. Since 1898 the USA has given hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars to PR in the form of outright grants and loans, incredible import/export credits and remittance of US income taxes. Your information is flawed

Yes, I know that is correct. Same for Cuba and Kuwait and Iran and a dozen or more places on Earth. Once they land somewhere, they seldom leave.

Did you know we did that because Span declared war on the USA and attacked us in Cuba. So we retaliated.
