Honestly now. If US pulls out we will become another poor country, look at all this other islands around us trying to make it on their own, doesn't that tell you something, even South America, they are not doing great. Why you think all these people migrate to US?
How many of you live in PR? Only in the last few years PR is starting to look good. PR needs help, schools need help, towns need help, people living in shacks need help, I can not believe how many people still have an aluminun roof that blows away at the first sign of storm. We are not going to loose our culture, our flag, our anthom or even our language, it would take centuries to make puertorricans speak English and even then, I guarantee Spanish will always rule.
Look at all the states withing the US that have their own culture, their flag even their lingo! J.Vargas you are in Hawaii, how much did Hawaii change after US took over? Not a whole lot.
I love PR, and I go there as much as I can, but I sure can not get over how much poverty is there. I look at the schools and I see total destruction. The main reason I can not go back to live is because I want my kids to have a good education and PR is not offering that. To better PR everyone has to be involved and if that means taxes the so be it. I pay taxes now where I live, I rather pay taxes in PR if that would mean I can go back. I Know the US goverment is corrupted but so is PR goverment. Lets help our country, lets give our children a chance to a good future.
