If you want to understand the full history and why puerto ricans want to be free and have their own country then you need to go back to 1492 and Christopher Columbus. My people were the 1st ones that discovered him lost in the ocean.

Independence 10,000% fuck statehood status I can’t and can’t stand statehood Puerto Rico. I want our island to have a President. No one ain’t picking statehood I’ll cause some to be former Puerto Ricans. Some people don’t get it. Statehood causes culture change to English, converts Puerto Rico flag to usa state flag of English. It’s affecting cultures fuck statehood

I do not think more than 50% of Puerto Ricans have shown much interest in either option. The statehood, status quo and independence parties all get their share of votes.

Hi im a Puerto rican and recently I conducted a survey (in mostly the western side of the island.) I interviewed 882 people (this took 2 months) And only 231 people wanted independence 13 wanted reunification with Spain And 638 people wanted statehood So judging by my survey more people want statehood. (Yes I know the numbers are low and the outcome could be vastly different but this is what I got) And by judging actual sources that show the opinions on statehood on an island wide range, The only people that don’t really want statehood are in vieques and culebra

It’s statehood. Independence would destroy their economy. For reference Puerto Rico is literally the wealthiest per capita territory in the entire Latin American. And this is without having any meaningful natural resources.

I believe statehood should only be granted if English is an Official language taught to all inhabitants, land ownership is updated to match most of the continental United States and there is a plan to enforce American immigration policies on day one. Florida gets swamped with refugee boats all the time - PR would be next if it became a state! We would have yet another southern state besieged by unpermitted foreigners.

Yeah I kinda agree. And its nothing new or limited to the confines of US alone. Many other countries that share their borders with other nations have seen a surge in illegal immigration and in recent years the control over the borders in the US , have only spiraled down into a very slack control. And I think border control and its protection should always be one of the top priorities of any country because that's the only way we can protect our nation's integrity and sovereignty.

Puerto Rico needs to become a state. If they became independence their economy would crash. In addition the whole “lose their culture identity thing” is pure racism. PR is not going to stop speaking Spanish or have some massive influx of mainlanders to the island.

How would our economy collapse? It's already collapsing under the US. You are very wrong about there not being in influx of mainlanders, if Puerto Rico becomes a state our island will be spotlighted for more people to come in just to exploit our island, they are already doing it right now and Puerto Ricans are being displaced by gentrification either having to move off the island or find a cheaper house other than the house that our families have grown up in for generations and passed down. It's happened to me, I live in San Juan and when my Abuela came some german guy came and said he was sorry and wanted to buy our house. Don't bring up the race card for us being upset that people are being encouraged to move to our island and raising the cost of living for us when we've grown up and passed this place down for generations.

This video presents the viewers with the official US narrative. Therefore, the confusion is by design to maintain Puerto Rico as a US colony forever. The truth, however, is very simple. The US militarily invaded Puerto Rico 125 years ago to make her a US colony. Today, however, the US alleges to support the sovereignty of Ukraine, although the US is the one that has her sovereignty since 2014, and alleges to support the sovereignty of Taiwan, although the US claims to recognize the One China Principal. That’s just as confusing as the video. The video never mentioned the fact that the US has ignored 41 United Nations resolutions asking her to immediately return Puerto Rico’s sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans. The US is therefore willingly committing a crime against humanity by choosing not to comply with international law. Why has the International Criminal Court not issued an arrest warrant against President Biden, as diligently as it did against President Putin? More Puerto Ricans today live away from our national territory than in. And of those who have refused to abandon our homeland, half live in poverty! Instead of the video informing the viewers that the US must simply return immediately Puerto Rico’s sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans, it talked about various polls and plebiscites, as if they were more important than international law. The video hides the fact that the US is a plutocracy, and that this so-call confusion is to enable US oligarchs to continue exploiting Puerto Rico. How else could 38 million Americans live in poverty today, while 8 of the 10 richest men in the world are US citizens? We must decolonize our minds to get unconfused.

I'm Puerto Rican. Puerto Rico is never going to be a state and it never should. Puerto Ricans really do not want statehood. You left out that the referendums are all total BS political ploys setup by the very corrupt pro-statehood party PNP just to attract more of there party followers out to go vote for their candidates for governor. The most recent 3 we had with statehood winning, the first one had a bunch of thrown out ballots plus the governor was pro commenwealth so they rejected the results. The second statehood won with 97% of the vote because it was boycotted by the most of the island only getting 22% turnout. And the 2020 referendum had 52% support for statehood but only 54% of the island showed up. There isn't a clear majority if the people want statehood or not, but from what ive seen more Puerto Ricans are waking up to the BS statehood movement and support for Independence is growing big time because of all the corruption being exposed in the statehood movement and because of the neglect by the US. Congress will never make Puerto Rico a state, the politicians in DC cslling for our island to be made a state only promoting it to advance their political cares by making themselves look altruistic because statehood for Puerto Rico is being thrown around the US as if it's some civil rights movement, when really its not. Puerto Rico is a different country with it's own history, culture, and Spanish is mostly spoken. Statehood would be detrimental to both the US and PR financially, politically, and culturally. A look of statehooders here on the island say they want independence too but vote for statehood because they are afraid Puerto Rico will become a third world isolationist communist dictatorship, they are very pessimistic. Alaska and Hawaii are not connected to the continental US and look how they ended up, the natives either displaced out of the states or pushed into small communities inland, while wealthy Non-natives come in and eploit them to profit themselves and made the cost of living in those states very expensive. Do not support statehood for Puerto Rico!!!

Puerto Ricans cannot vote in the United States presidential elections in Puerto Rico (Borikén) but if the travel from Puerto Rico (Borikén) to United States register to vote and then they can vote as vote as well the Puerto Ricans live in United States because Puerto Ricans (Boricuas) are united states citizens since 1917 and the their island BORIKÉN is the ancestors Arawaks Tainos original island name today Puerto Rico is United States territory since 1898 so Puerto Ricans can vote in the United States presidential elections but to vote in this elections Puerto Ricans needs to that in United States not directly from the island
