It's interesting listening to people discuss Puerto Rican statehood and independence.
Probably the only time Americans worry themselves about the independence and sovereignty of Latin American peoples.
Sort of interesting that what really drives this deep and sincere concern for the liberty of Puerto Ricans (who are American citizens) is a combined fear of inheriting the poverty of Puerto Rico if they become a state, or even stay an unincorporated territory of the United States...
... and a worry that more Spanish speaking people may come to the continental United States if they stay a territory or become a state.
