    again, younger people in puerto rico are almost all bilingual, which is more than we can say for most americans.

    If I were going to go live in another country, I would do everything I could to learn their language.

    1. bully for you.

    2. once more, younger puerto ricans overwhelmingly speak english. even if they chose to speak spanish exclusively, i dont see how that is an issue for anyone other than them.

    3. if you want to live in a country where everyone is an insecure lunatic about language and culture, perhaps you should move to france.

    Absolutely agree. It's time to take away the incentive to continue to say no. There's no reason for our taxes to go there if they're unwilling to participate like everyone else. If they want to be independent, let them become completely independent.

    this. make them vote and give them two choices. statehood or independence. no more status quo.

    If they can't speak english then they shouldn't even have the option of becoming a state.

    Beck is not a conservative. But he is scared because Obama is converting this country into something we don't recognize. If he's against PR Statehood then it relates back to that issue.
