Btw, Puerto Ricans are US citizens. But don't let that stop them.

There's at least two possible outcomes when someone(s) receives aid:

  1. They use it as a stepping stone towards becoming independent, and it's temporary
  2. They feel entitled to it and become habituated towards receiving aid and it cements their dependence

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.
