I've been hearing that Puerto Ricans have been pouring into Florida since around 2000 or so. As I understand it, when they lived in PR, they can vote in US presidential primaries, but not US presidential elections. So when they move to the US, are they now instant United States citizens who now CAN vote in the US election for president?
I *do* know that Puerto Rican-Americans tend to vote democRAT, unlike most Cubans in Florida.
It sure seems like Florida is -- once again -- going to be one of those make or break states for our Republican nominee...
IIRC, once a Puerto Rican establishes residency in one of the 50 states, they have full voting rights, including general election for POTUS.
They can vote in a Presidential election once they have moved to a state. Is it right? Not in my view it is not, as they have their allegiance to their own island, and not this country. They still speak their language, fly their flag etc.
