Why should the people of Puerto Rico be subsumed into a foreign power?
- dragonwriter 5y ago> Why should the people of Puerto Rico be subsumed into a foreign power? Because they overwhelmingly prefer it, differing mainly on the exact terms of association? Why shouldn't they be part of the country they choose to be part of? (Also, Puerto Rico has been a US territory since the Spanish-American war and has never been a sovereign state, so the “foreign power” thing is...dubious. Puerto Rico is about as American as the territory gained in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, 50 years earlier.)
