    PR natives are "citizens" - don't know how or why that was relegated. The island is mainly on our welfare system and has not been able to progress into what it could be as a tropical paradise. The residents are not going anywhere but to the USA. Think they can come anytime they wish to.

    Unfortunately, islands everywhere will be going under in the future unless they are built up higher to withstand rising sea levels. The storms, well they require more planning to survive them. How much money are we supposed to give to PR w/o devising a way to achieve a return on that investment to improve it?
