Wrong Virgil. I have no problem in accepting your reason for wanting to retain your, if I may, second-class citizenship. That is why I said to you that you have 50 states of the U.S. to choose from, and you can take your entire family with you to live in one of them. Moreover, when you are there then you will have the right to vote for President, and have Congressional representation with the vote, and not like now a resident comissioner that has no voice nor vote to champion your cause and needs in P.R..
Why do you seem quite reluctant to make the change to the U.S.; it as easy as going to the Munoz Marin International Airport and hopping on a plane? Would you rather stay in Puerto Rico as a second-class citizen if and when P.R. becomes independent?; frankly I don't think that would be a wise thing to do since you may be regarded as staying there because you want to play the role of being a thorn in the side of the Independent Boricuas. Of course, we would never permit that no more than you who say that you statehooders would ever permit a full-fledged Socialist Republic of Puerto Rico.
Take care,
