  • I'm sorry, but 70% unemployment then that wood mean my all fucking family you stupid bitch. I live in Puerto Rico and I wood love to see where she got that number where, where the fuck is it??? Please tell me.!!!.

    O and by the way unless you live on the island, you do not have a say in our decisions. What I'm saying is, if your a new york puerto rican latino and you think we shut be Indepent then go fuck your self you live their we live here, that all I have to say.....

  • very few in combat mos,s I understand. they use if for their own needs as they should, but dont claim to be a patriot if youre a mercenary. (goes for non lationos as well)

  • Puerto Ricans have been well represented

    in the lower ranks of the USA Military.

    Puerto Ricans have also been well represented

    on the USA welfare, foodstamp rolls,

    as well as the USA prisons as inmates.

  • Puerto Rico is a USA Military base,

    with some land available for the people of

    Puerto Rico to live on.

    Puerto Rico is a mish mash, as representative

    by that mixed race "rerporter".

  • um...if anybody in media is blocking out news on the PR strike because other people might get the idea, can I just say AHISTORICAL, DUDES. Some of us baby boomers studied history and know all about strikes, labor movement, revolutions, sit-ins, unions, etc. A women's strike is in the planning...musta been that trip to Vieques I took back in the 80's...

  • It's not about Puerto Ricones, people, labor unions..nothing about that-----THE US ECONOMY IS GOING DOWN THE DRAIN!
