American citizens suffering and Trump cares more about saying we need to fire football protestors.

Truly, he must be chosen by god because no reasonable person would have picked him to lead.

They share something in common in the fact that they are human beings, like the rest of us. Part of our nation or not, it's irrelevant. People don't deserve to suffer because of nationality.

No they aren't. Just because they can travel and work freely within the US doesn't make them "citizens". Just like green card holders have basically all the rights as citizens except for voting rights, Puerto Ricans aren't US citizens simply because they share many rights and can travel freely within our borders.

You are absolutely correct. Bottom line is they aren’t citizens. We keep the county afloat through diplomacy. I feel for them so much as a young man in Louisiana who has much hurricane experience.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jones%E2%80%93Shafroth_Act

The Jones–Shafroth Act (Pub.L. 64–368, 39 Stat. 951, enacted March 2, 1917) —also known as the Jones Act of Puerto Rico, Jones Law of Puerto Rico, or as the Puerto Rican Federal Relations Act of 1917— was an Act of the United States Congress, signed by President Woodrow Wilson on March 2, 1917.[a] The act superseded the Foraker Act and granted U.S. Citizenship to anyone born in Puerto Rico on or after April 25, 1898.

This is the weakest bail out of a failed troll attempt I've ever seen. At least people like The Admiral have the basic human shame to run away from their demonstrably false statements instead of taking pride in their statements and literally propping up a stereotype of Southerners as unintelligent and uneducated.

I really do wonder what kind of real-life disatisfaction drives people to such weird and depressing behavior.
