"Be gone with them...and good riddance."

That's the way I feel too.
We should give them five years to get their act together and then stop all welfare, subsidies, etc. And tell them they are now an independent country. Goodbye Puerto Rico.

When I lived down there for a few years in the 60’s there was a referendum with less than 1% wishing Independence.

The Independence Party is very small, very loud and very dangerous.

For years, the Castro brothers have been pushing for PR independence, and for years, they’ve been thwarted. PR is like Ulster: they don’t want to give up their place at Sam’s trough.

That must have been a sight for Barry’s sore eyes.

I fully support the idea of an independent Puerto Rico. There’s no value added in the status quo.
