Puerto Rico is not a state it is a commonwealth the people here are too busy using /selling drugs,alcohol killing by drive by shootings it is not even funny. If the people here would leave all these things aside it would be a nice place. carjackings happen everywhere, and what is even less funnier is the fact that the authorities do nothing about it. People here just find that living off the government is a way of life, i understand that IF you have to live off the government it should be something temp. as an emergency. Untill Puerto Rico realizes this and accepts it ,nothing better will out come of them! |

In 2005, The Presidential Task Force of George Bush made a report on Puerto Rico that made very clear that it is a US colony. Colonization is an offense to the most basic rights any nation has. Puerto Rico has to be decolonized now! |

Just found this web-site - very interesting. However there are some errors which should be cleared up.
Puerto Rico is not a state. It is a common wealth of the U.S. It was appropriated as “spoils of war” after the Spanish American War of 1898. A huge misconception is that Puerto Ricans need green cards. They do not. They are born American citizens and have been since 1917. The legal currency of the island is the U.S. dollar, in front of all government buildings, the American flag flies along side the Puerto Rican flag. Puerto Rico does have representation in Washington, but they cannot vote. Spanish is the official language although English is spoken by many on the island. Although a major portion of Puerto Ricans living on the mainland arrived after World War II, many came to the U.S. in the early 1900's to work on tobacco farms and the cigar industries of the South. Many others traveled as far as Hawaii to work on sugar plantations. Like the U.S. the population of Puerto Rico consists of peoples of European, African and some indigenous ancestry, although the majority of the island natives were wiped out by war and disease.
Tony Colon like all Puerto Ricans was born an American citizen. He first made his mark on the running world as a student at Power Memorial High School and Manhattan College in New York City. He then participated in the Olympics representing Puerto Rico.

Though Tony Colon was a US Citizen, so has been every single member of every Puerto Rican Olympic team in history. Tony Colon would want to be listed as a Puerto Rican Olympian, not an American one. That is the whole point of competing in the Puerto Rican team as opposed to on the American team which he certainly could have. |
