How was he even able to get into our country? This really shows the problems we have, allowing criminal aliens to come into our country.

If he is Puerto Rican, he come and go as he pleases. Its one of the benefits this wonderful government gives the P.R.'s.
They have been doing this for years.

People are dumb :-)

Puerto Rico is an American Territory - they can just come over whenever they want.

We ask Puerto Rico to vote on their status: State, Independent Country. They choose None of the Above and chose to remain a territory. I think we should take away the territory option (this isn't the 19th century!) and make them chose one way or the other.

They didn't want to become a state because then they would have to pay taxes. They don't want to be an independent country because they wouldn't get money from this country. It's a win-win situation for them to remain a territory.

That's the problem. It's good to welcome people into your home and help them make a better life for themselves, but it tends to attract leeches.

I'd have no problem with this at all, we'd save so much tax money because it's very clear that the ricans are the biggest offenders of the welfare system.

Right, Lowering, but they can still collect welfare and pay no taxes! Being a territory is a pretty good deal!

Puerto Rico is a Commonwealth. And those of you with your rant to "deport them all" show your true colors - not red, white and blue - but as bigots. Do you have any idea how many men and women of Puerto Rican heritage and birthrithg have fought for and died for this country?

Try googling it sometime - it might open your eyes and teach you something!!

Judging someone on the basis of their heritage or language is really low.

Here is the link. Now everyone can read about the tax system. Puerto Rican residents do pay taxes.
