Whoa
didn’t know that story. -
PR owes a lot of people a lot of money. Judges released only a fraction of specific FEMA grants to ensure the money went to relief efforts, not the creditors

They aren’t white, they speak Spanish, our President is racist, and they have no political power. Give them 2 Senators and 5 representatives and therefore 7 electoral votes and we might not be having this conversation.

When they become a State they can have representatives. They want the benefits of statehood without commitment.

They passed a referendum requesting statehood. Congress has refused to act.

If only we knew someone in congress

Democrats don't control the govt. GOP do. GOP own it all & have to take the blame if they want to take the credit. trump threw paper towels at PRcns and told them to have fun while he flew off the island. Dems didn't do that. Dems didn't tell them PR didn't even have a disaster.

So sad that you blame Washington for the failed liberal government in Puerto Rico...but whatever
