They are real Americans. They have all rights other Americans have except they can't vote for president and congress IF they live in Puerto Rico.

We need to do everything for them we would for the Commonwealth of Virginia, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

All the rights yet apparently none of the responsibilities. When big storms and hurricanes come through my area, and yes there have been a few, I don't wait for Daddy Government to set things straight. I pitch in and try to make things right myself. Like any responsible "real american."But even if on occasion I have to take some from the American till, I don't feel bad because I've been contributing for a long time. Unlike our Puerto Rican pals.
