Manuel:
Who in the world is talking about a reservation!!! Maybe I can put it a little more into perspective; i.e.,when Mexico lost land to the U.S after the mexican American war, they had made a promise to Mexico that the Mexican's already there were going to be taken care of and would keep their lands; that wasn't the case though, many were displaced and many of them were overwhelmed at the influx of Anglos that eventualy took over their lands! Throughout time the Mexican's living there eventualy lost their culture and language resulting in what is now called the chicano culture! The Mexican's there can't even speak spanish anymore !! They are even ashamed at how their lands were just handed over to the American's and so fourth, so you see by becoming a state you will eventualy create a Nuyorican culture and not a truly genuine Puerto Rican culture ! I know that no matter how much factual evidence is shown to you , you will always stand your ground .
