Originally posted by WarriorSoul View PostWell I've talk to my boricua friends in the BX about this in the past. Basically one of the main concerns that PRs have about becoming a state is that when the floodgates open and other mainland Americans eventually move to PR they are afraid that they will dilute the island which could eventually affect the language, culture, identity of PR. As great as it is for PR to eventually become a state, hearing my friend's arguments made me a believer that it would not be in the best interest for Puerto Ricans as a people.

I believe there are some misconceptions in this thread. As far as I know, US citizens require a passport to travel to PR, but not vice versa. Also the current majority favors status quo, as shown in all polls. It's only the minority that goes on to vote for what sort of new association they favor.Last edited by Miburo; 11-06-2012, 10:50 AM.

Then the next debate of how the new flag should look will begin
I wonder how it would effect boxing and if PR would maintain their sovereignty in matters such as the Olympics.
