Don't they have some car rims lying around they can fence?

Used to spend time in Puerto Rico on business many years ago. Outside of the tourist trap area in San Juan and some beach resorts, the island was dirt poor. Great weather, nice people, and pineapples picked ripe (so much better than available here) are my main memories, but abject poverty was everywhere. Companies built product in PR back in the day because of tax breaks and relatively low wages, wonder how many are still there.

Import the Third World, become the Third World. Time for us to cut Puerto Rico loose, curtail all Third World immigration, and end the infestation.

Beautiful Third World WELFARE DEPENDANTS. If only we could deport the mongreloid butts of the descendants here on the mainland, who remain a drain on our nation like every other group of third world immigrants.

PRs are a Third World people, the majority of whom use the WIC card to buy groceries. Time to cut them off.

The people I met were employed. They were not on welfare.

Check some statistics: the majority of the populatin uses the WIC card and the majority of the island's economy isvdependnt on Uncle Sugar one way or another.

We should no longer tolerate a Third World island as part of our Republic. Cut them off.
