Ouch... as a native mainlander who has chosen PR to be his home, I'm quite offended. I'm guessing you aren't aware of the pitiful minority that constitutes the pro-independence crowd here. The largest percentage of voters here are pro-status quo with the pro-statehood crowd not far behind.Hopefully mkt, we can remove the US flag from Puerto Rico soon. It's not right that the residents of PR should have to suffer under the yoke of Yanqui domination. Much better to be a friend of Cuba and/or Venezuela.
As for Cuba and Venezuela. I've been to both places, and while I know the Cuba I saw was what Castro wants all tourists to see, I still found the people there to be more genuinely welcoming than most Yanquis I ever meet. The same goes for Venezuela. No one there hates Americans. The leader does, but the normal everyday citizens could care less what passport you carry.
Unfortunately, people are blinded to the truth by the lies they are told to believe... this applies to all countries and all people. Don't believe me? DHS is tantamount to nothing more than a 21st century SS masquerading under US colors.
Have a magical day
