RumourMonger,
By guessing by your quote you work at a menial dead end job at some soul crushing mcjob. Last time I check Puerto Rico is a US Commonwealth. They are statutory US Citizens. Here is a link on what a US Commonwealth is:

You should stop listen to Hate Monger Michael "Weiner" Savage.
Enroll in some college classes. Oh wait education is a "liberal" concept to you. Or the fear of the brown people will take your job.
Brown people will take your job? That sounds like liberal theme song of the last how many years? I guess you have forgotten about those liberal campaign ads? It seems because someone disagrees with you, they are filled with "hate." Honestly, hate is a very subjective term. Believe it or not, Michael Savage has a Ph.D., I think he has been to more than a few college classrooms. Do you think your friends at Duke were filled with hate when they assumed that the three lacrosse players committed a felony of rape? I thought people in your ideological neck of the woods, proclaim, "Innocent until proven guilty," unless the charged parties are of a politically incorrect group. Education is a search for the truth, not a repeating of politically correct slogans or political brainwashing. Liberals clamor for diversity, unless that diversity happens to be conservative or some other form of ideology.
If you look at outsourcing, instead of repeating mindless drivel, the United States receives $1.14 for every dollar outsourced to another nation. Protectionism only benefits the protected industry. If Congress passes a law of protectionism, the protected industry is not forced to compete for consumer dollars, which would come from other American or foreign competition. If I choose to buy a Toyota from the XYZ Toyota dealer and it is a peaceable exchange of goods for currency, why should the government interfere? In other words, why should the American customer be forced to pay a the higher price of the politically protected industry? So, in other words, why should the choice be correct, if it is only your choice, I would think that would interfere with another individual's freedom? If you have been in a college classroom, you would remember that the Smoot-Hawley tariff of 1929, started the Great Depression.
Another Modern Liberal arguement that is false, that the claim that countries that have been colonies are always poor. I can think of many countries that have been colonies that are not poor, in fact, one of those colonies is where you are a citizen, the United States of America. Canada, Australia, and Hong Kong were colonies at one point in time, do you think they are still poor? By the way, Hong Kong has many people that are crowded into a small area. I know the liberal talking points state that having many people that are crowded into a small area creates poverty. Well, the last time, I looked, Hong Kong was a wealthy nation with a low rate flat tax, that says something about the "progressive tax code."
These are just a few examples of common liberal talking points, that are not only misleading, but false. You would think that the modern liberals would benefit from some courses in undergraduate economics.
