"It (Puerto Rico) survives by being able to export its population to the mainland(U.S.)...Exempt from income taxes, it lives off of federal handouts. ...20% of its' workforce is employed by the government....Puerto Rico recieves no less then 10 percent of all Federal food stamp payments...."

We provide them with $107,ooo,ooo yearly in welfare and they are reguarded as U.S. citizens but are required to pay no income taxes. Puerto Rico is 100 miles long and 35 miles wide. With $107 million, one would think that everyone in PR lives the life most Americans would like, especially with not having to work.
Like the welfare leeches here in the U.S., they want something for nothing; they think the world owes them something because there suffered the hardship of being a colony at one time.
I still say let them, and anyone else who is a parasite upon the U.S. taxpayer, see what happens when Uncle Sugar pulls the welfare plug and we no longer support them in the custom to which they have become accustomed. That goes for the sycophants here in the U.S. as well as those around the world who expect the U.S. taxpayer to provide for their health & welfare without doing anything for themselves.
