They receive a lot of benefits as a territory. And whether the Hispanic media portrays it or not, they are a very impoverished community. Them declaring independence is never gonna happen.
What's the point on those "benefits" is they are very impoverished.
Arguably we should remove the quotes so they get actual benefits. PR deserves better from us
There's at least two possible outcomes when someone(s) receives aid:
Same problem with food stamps, etc. some people use it as a hand-out, some people use it as a hand-up. You can't really help one group without helping the other, unfortunately.
You can see how thriving it's neighbors are without receiving those "benefits".
Ikr? Cuba is thriving so much despite all the embargo on it and countries that do business with it. US never bullies or destabilize region and countries for their benefits, especially their neighbors.
If someone receives US "benefits", it must thrive at all cost, like Afghanistan.
