Puerto Rico’s more than three million residents are US citizens, with no obstacles to living and working on the mainland.

    What kind of leadership got them into this bankrupt mess? When we visited PR they gave us the impression they disliked Americans. Wow a $73 billion dollar ball and chain.

    Who needs this bankrupt island? Terminate its protectorate status and let it sink or swim on its own.
