It’s hard to drive from Puerto Rico to the mainland. Besides there are language problems. The situation in Puerto Rico is unique. As long as Puerto Rico is part of the part of the United States, their problems are our problems.
Sounds good, but I’m not buying it.
Plenty in PR who know English; plenty in the USA who know Spanish.
There are such things as planes and boats, or don’t they have any in PR?
Sorry, these excuses are lame at best.
