First, many people really still do not understand that these people are American citizens.
They also have this perception that they are all on welfare that we pay for.
They believe that there was no electricity or “infrastructure” and “now they want us to pay to build roads that they never had.”
I said that I’ve been there close to 20 times and their airports, roads, signage, and electricity did not seem to ever be an issue. Of course, then there was disbelief that I have been there, after I posted, “Do you think they lived in huts, too?” My ex-husband’s family was originally from Spain. They moved to Puerto Rico for one generation and then moved here. Many moved back when they retired. We were together for 30 years and visited at least once a year, every year, to visit his grandmother. Never had an issue with power, roads, or crime, although she lived near San Juan, which is prone to robbery, as is Old San Juan where pick-picketers target cruise ship guests. They can say whatever they want, because apparently they think the island is like some third world country. And the rest soak it up. There are two cases of fraud investigations. One from 2012-14 and one in 2016. They insist it was San Juan’s mayor. Now you know they aren’t reading up on the news in Puerto Rico, so who is feeding them this line of bull?
The lying. The lying is killing us. And I am at the point where I don’t know what to do. They refuse to hear. They don’t want to believe. How can our leaders just lie to the American people and no one calls them out? This Puerto Rico thing has me going insane, and you can never, ever tell me that it’s not about color or voters. Maybe I’m as bad as they are, but I will never believe that. I’m beyond done. If he gets re-elected, I swear I am moving my pet hotel overseas and I’ll stay there. I hear they are quite popular in Great Britain.
