Brian Allen Puerto Ricans are rising up — demanding full separation from the United States, declaring they’ve had enough of being treated like a colony. No Senate seats. No presidential vote. No real voice. But somehow, they still pay taxes and die in U.S. wars.

After decades of second-class treatment — from botched hurricane relief to economic exploitation — the demand is simple: Sovereignty. Not symbolism. You can’t keep flying the flag over an island you refuse to represent.

Wow. Puerto Rico is a beautiful place/island. They are right to be sick of being treated like a colony.

Can’t blame them. Treated as Secondary citizens who pay their taxes but receive none of the benefits.
