are free to determine their own political future, and my administration will stand by you", says President Obama. I would say that someone needs to tell them that offer only applies on the way in, but they seem to know better. Every four years they have voted to remain a commonwealth, as opposed to a state or an independent. Obama has changed the question to include only statehood or independence.

Choose carefully Freakin' Ricans. Our President Lincoln turned our Republic into a roach motel. States check in, but they don't check out.

There's probably more people from Puerto Rico in New York than in Puerto Rico. Lawton Oklahoma would probably rank as a top 10 city in population in Puerto Rico if you counted all that are here too.

Funny that they only fly the Puero Rican flag too but want to claim all the benefits of being in the U.S. Ask a flag flying Puerto Rican why he chooses to live in the U.S. and not Puerto Rico if P.R. is so great and they will get very angry (but not have any rational response).

Puerto Rico has been trying to "determine their own future" for the past 60 years. I'm not holding my breath.

I say toss them. They can join the Big Castro/Chavez Conference for their welfare.

I'm not a racist, but I think all Puerto Ricans should be locked up in cages.

They are better off as a commonwealth, they get way more money than they would as a state and on their own, they would not be so likely to make it. Will be interesting if they are forced to choose...

All the other Spanish-speaking countries in the western hemisphere envy them for getting US citizenship at birth.

And access to all the welfare from New York through to MA...

The flights are full of PRs from the NE in the Winter, when they go back home and return in the spring to live in NE in order to get the checks...
