Bianca Excellently! Done. For too long PR has been as you said, second class citizens. Yet the people of PR pay there high taxes & can’t even vote. Also you have those that come to the island & get to pay no taxes. An island that is so rich & able to do for itself in all areas. I for one was born in NY but, lived & study in PR as well. I also have family living in PR. Makes me think will PR be better off on independents instead of State hood? PR could do so much on selling food products alone. Fruits, Vegetables ETC.. For too long PR has been taken advantage of & the natives of the island suffer. It’s such a beautiful island & can do so much better. Thank You 🙏🏼 for your continuous fight for PR. GOD Bless 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

For those who are afraid of worsening conditions in PR if the island becomes an independent, sovereign nation, just try to have a "look from the outside" approach. Frankly things can't be worse than it is now, as a US Territory. We are still bankrupt, financially and as a society. We are getting closer and closer every day to what we define as a failed state. Young people have no opportunities. Everywhere you go, everything looks run-down, businesses closed, infrastructure crumbling. There is no optimism for the future. Prices are sky high, mainly due to the Jones Act. Many politicians elected are a bunch of useless puppets to corruption, and they reflect the character of the people that elect them (it happens here in the US too). But worst of all is seeing we have no valid representation in Congress to watch for our interests. Puerto RIco is exactly as the US government wants it to be; poor, fully-dependent and with an ambiguous political status. There is but two or three districts (AOC's being one of them) in the entire US, where their constituents seem to support that their representative in Congress spend time and effort to vouch for Puerto Rico's interests, in terms of equal treatment. The rest are naturally "out of sight-out of mind", or would never OK that their Congresspeople spend their constituents' time fighting for Puerto Rico's due. I probably wouldn't allow it either if I was a resident of those states! We are the property of a country that has never considered Puerto Rico worthy of becoming part of them. Remember, we are not PART of the US, we are a PROPERTY. I don't even consider the term 'colony' appropriate or applicable anymore. We used to be a colony back when there was "Latifundio Monocultivo y Ausentismo". But colonialism has morphed into someting more obscure, much worse. Empires appreciated and supported and invested in their colonies. There was a mutual gain, and many times, pathway for sovereignty. For Puerto Rico now is nothing but loss. There is no benefit in being a territory, when there is so much more loss than gain. Things could be much better if we were not a territory. It is, and has been US policy, to maintain PR as a territory for many reasons; military/geo-strategic, risky medical and agricultural testing grounds that could never be done in the mainland, and many more reasons. But the biggest one is that Puerto Rico is a hot potato issue for Congress People. Almost no one in Congress wants to confront the reality of Puerto Rico while holding a seat in government. It is too much of a risky and touchy subject, re-election-wise. And the people who are suffering are not worthy of their time, effort or risk.There's this belief, by both sides of government that the balance of government will tip, affecting one party, more than the other. So let's be brave and consider independence for Puerto Rico. We have NOTHING to lose. Not anymore. No more Jones Act. We will be able to make our own decisions, do trade and commerce directly with other countries (which will bring more money than what we "get" from the US), especially those countries that see us a equal, not as inferior. We will create financial hubs, improve our tourism industry, restore our industrial facilities back to the glory days where college graduates had a great job waiting for them. We will mature as a country and end this destructive dependence on US money. A big part of the diaspora, myself included, will have a way to return and enjoy living there. All those things... We've hit rock bottom. It cannot get worse than people not having hope. We are slowly dying. Like a human colony on Mars or outer space. Only a change in status can bring that hope, and a roadmap to reconstruction back. Thank you MS Graulau for this very important video, and the effort you put forth for this forum for us to learn and share our thoughts and opinions. Eagerly waiting on the next!

Independence would probably lower property values and make it easier for Puerto Ricans to buy homes/land there. It might make the business environment less favorable as well, which again would lower property values. Outside influences from Cuba, and other strong man states in the area would increase. Puerto Ricans will be more responsible for their own success or failure. Certain constitutional protections might not carry over to a new PR constitution. It all an experiment. Lastly when you go to the PR you do not feel like you’re in the US at all.

I am a Puerto Rican-American from NY and do not support AOC or her political goals. It is difficult to believe that even Puerto Ricans born within the 50 states are treated as second class citizens, but it is true. It is worse for some Puerto Ricans who are Veterans of the Armed Forces and still cannot land a job once they separate from the service. Discrimination is real people! NYC Civil Service Agencies discriminate against people of color and label them as unfit for specific job titles, which is disheartening.

I have several friends that are PR. It's my understanding by talking to them that the country is split between independence, and statehood. I for one, would love to see PR become our 51st state, but of course, that is up to the people of PR. I can understand their reasons for not wanting to join the United States, but I can also understand why they would want to. Ultimately, it's up them, and the United States should honor their decision.

There has been no improvement to the quality of the lives that make a difference in small communities the people that are working or are trying to maintain their lifestyle especially in the mountains Meanwhile I see a deterioration in the health sector, and in the family nucleus.

The US will continue to exploit our land and our people subjugating them as they have done for the past 124 plus years. The politically and economically connected elite of the US continue to benefit from the current political status so it isn't likely we will see a free and sovereign Puerto Rico in our life times unless the next generation of leaders coming to power decide to change the status quo. With the current political direction in which US politics are going with the control of the right wing of the Replublican party holding Americans as well as Puerto Ricans hostage the future looks bleak.

Our current economy is based basically only in federal funds and in the US. Most companies in PR come from the US. If PR becomes independent we lose the federal laws that we have regarding economy like the minimum wage. The new wage will be depending on our economy so it will most likely go down to even $1/hour.

The last point of this presentation is the one that should be paramount: carry out an independent audit of Puerto Rico's public debt. That means going back decades, but it's not a draconian task when the very quality of life of the people is at stake. In light that the junta solely exists to defend the interests of the "debt" collectors, a thorough audit would help us put the junta on the next flight out of Puerto Rico. The people must not continue to be burdened by a nebulous debt created by the two political parties that have run roughshod over Puerto Rico for over 50 years. The youth of Puerto Rico should not have to begin a life of unjust and illegal debt. The USA called itself victorious after the Cuban-Spanish war of independence, and among the first acts that it carried out was to label Cuba's public debt as odious and cancelled it.

AoC, Puerto Rico has very little production. How are we going to maintain the same quality of life without any federal aid (billions annually).

What happens when the next hurricane destroys the island and we have no FEMA? This "colony" is not being extracted for resources. We receive more than we produce. US federal aid maintains the people fed, healthy and housed. Bianca, please investigate what would be the effects of these three options in terms of aid and federal support. Thank you all. Also, as a state we would pay both state and federal tax. Currently we pay taxes only to the commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Would state taxes combined with federal taxes be more or less than the 31% tax we currently contribute? If it's more than this would lead to more unemployment as businesses downsize to counter rising costs. Loosing our citizenship would be tragic. Our children would not be able to work or seek education in the US mainland without a travel VISA. We would be competing with the rest of the world for access to American colleges. Only having access to the University of Puerto Rico which is currently underfunded as is. Imagine it without any federal aid. Also imagine all the high school graduates competing for the limited seats on UPR campus. It would drive the grade requirements and prices up, making it so only the elite can afford or qualify for higher education. Do not take our American citizenship, or our federal aid. Thank you Bianca and AoC for this discussion.

I agree with you. I think sovereignty would be taking steps backwards for PR.

AOC doesn't know what she's talking about. We need to end the status cuo and only have two alternatives for the future of PR. The commonwealth status is outdated, and we need a new status. Statehood or independent.

Irma los EEUU no esta respondiendo porque no hay voz ni voto. Ya para con la cantaleta de que sin los EEUU Puerto Rico seria un desastre. Es un desastre AHORA con el congreso tomando todas las decisiones. Y un panel de banqueros imponiendo medidas de austeridad sin son ni ton...es hora de que todos los boricuas los de la isla y los de los 50 estados se definan ya. Se van a dar cuenta que no nos quieren en el club de los poderosos. Si es asi? Quieres mendigar incada e humillada con el por favor? Parate y ponte andar en un pais soberano con muchas opciones y muchas responsibilidades. Ya basta de seis siglos de colonialismo. No funciona por ningun pais que ha sido invadido y manipulado. Cual colonia es exitosa en el siglo XXI? Dime tu Irma? Hay gente muriendose todos los dias por su propia independencia delante un pais agresivo. Ukrania vs Rusia. Y tu que vas a hacer? Si no me aceptan como estado? Me pongo a llorar y pedir traducciones por que yo quiero los yanquis mandando pero que no me obliguen a estudiar el ingles si me hacen estado. Es ilogico esa posicion! Es otra historia y otra gente la historia de Puerto Rico. Los EEUU tuvo 120 y tantos mas para decidir que hacer con nosotros. No quiere darnos nada de poder. Hora de IRNOS YA. Se puede arreglar el asunto pero que se vayan todos los boricuas a un estado de los EEUU y se muden los que huyen el IRS y el Tio Sam y sus impuestos no es una solucion de largo plazo.
