You are amazing, smart and beautiful 💐❤️🇵🇷 my Boricua🇵🇷 sister🇵🇷. Pedro Albizu Campos 👑 will be so proud of everything you done and do for Borinqen 🇵🇷
Thanks ❤️ for everything! All your videos are great🙏
Te cree que sabes jajjaja pa eso entrevista a jennifer gonzales misma mierda to el mundo dice que tiene raices boricuas pa mandar sobre ellos pero tu sabe que aqui algunos saben
Can you 2 switch jobs thanks
Si pudiera conseguir una entrevista con Nelson denies ( el que publicó el libro war against all Puerto Rican.) fuera fenomenal. Keep up the great work.
Do all Puerto Rican gals date white guys?
Bianca, you deserve kudos for masterfully navigating this inherently difficult topic with knowledge, grace and aplomb. 👏🏼
Thank you so much, Ricky!
@Toni torre Well....LETS SEE, JONES ACT, JUNK BONDS???? Ahh, I think the USA has "FREELOADED" FROM THE ISLAND SINCE IT WAS "ANNEXED"..... SUGAR PLANTATIONS, REAL ESTATE and OKAY, PR GETS A "BONE" THROWN AT THEM ONCE IN AWHILE....I GUESS "PAPER TOWELS IS A BIG PLUS"!!!!!!
@@BiancaGraulau What's PR's new national model? Is it Haiti or Cuba?
Maybe she should run for government there instead of yapping her gums
Lmao kudos for AOC! No wonder your island is a joke
Ms. Graulau, I haven’t gone through all of your videos yet, but your work is amazing and appreciated. If you haven’t already done so, it would be amazing for you to visit Hawaii and interview many of the indigenous people of the Island. I feel it would open the eyes of many Puerto Ricans who support both colonization and statehood.
Way to Go Bianca! Keep educating the Puerto Rican Public and all!!!! This is awesome! Keep doing what your doing!!!
Love love love this reporting, and the professional manner with which this interview was done.
Aoc is a communist tool
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 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
i was told Puerto Rico is not allowed to have a Test Drive. I was going to Test Drive a Tesla. They told me oh, its being sold. I can't get in or anything. Not even move it. even a one day test drive either.
Thank you Bianca for this interview. 😊😊😊
Thanks to your contribution of making politics about PR understandable to the average American. Your service is highly appreciated! 😊
A constitutional assembly is necessary because the system is so corrupted in ALL areas that they will find a way to manipulate the process. Q: Will PR be able to do free trade with other countries and use the ports freely or at a lower cost if the “free association” is chosen?
And pay for all the people that have been dying from cancer because of the bombs in the ocean under the island and they have been using our Island as a military base all of the Puerto Ricans that died in Vietnam for nothing
Asks to all islander from Vieques and let's see what the says about the situation....
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!
Why not learn from all the rich people coming to PR from USA under Act 60 and learn how they got rich, to empower yourself and your family so you can get rich and help others after that first? Government will NEVER listen to you or me.
@@reasonablethought1901 Because that people you are talking about they don't live in PR most of the time. They just establish a domicile there for the tax evas...er, savings. They live in nice places, in states like Florida, where its nice and you can go to a good doctor, a good market and find all you want or need at good prices, without waiting in line for 1 hour. Or do you think most really live 183 days in Puerto Rico as the Law requires? Or their long-term gains on investments were made investing in the Puerto Rico economy? There is always a workaround to US laws. El que hizo la ley, hizo la trampa.
@@Mr67Stanger Wrong, because I AM one of the people in PR who moved from USA. I plan to live here over 200 days out of the year. And while I am here, I prefer to help the community and financially educate the community, but it's kind of hard to do that if there is "gringo go home" propaganda against you that you're this evil person who doesn't care about anyone else but yourself. Why create a divide amongst the two communities? Why not come together and HELP each other out?
REALIZE THE U.S. IS GREEDY POWERFUL AND DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ITS OWN AMERICAN PEOPLE ... P R IS ONLY USEFUL AS A PLAYGROUND FOR THE RICH THE FUKING BANKERS AND FOR THE RICH TO GENTRIFY US OUT OF OUR OWN NATION .... SORRY .... WE NEED TO REGAIN SOVERIGNTY FAST BEFORE WE HAVE NO PLACE TO LIVE ON OUR OWN ISLAND ......... WE ARE TO TINY TO BE LEFT THE HELL ALONE ... IN PUERTO RICO EVERYONE IS ARMED TO THE TEETH !!!! ...
AND EVERYONE ONE IS READY FOR A MASSSIVE REVOLUTION .... ITS JUST A MATTERR OF TIME ...
WE NEED THESE EVIL THIEVES OF BANKERS OUT OF PUERTO RICO .. THEY DON'T INVEST IN US BUT USE US AS A TAX HEAVEN WHILE OUR CHILDREN ARE ROBBED OF AN EDUCATION ....
OUR CHILDREN NO LONGER HAVE SCHOOLS ... BUT BANKS AND FORIEGN COMPANIES ARE BUYING UP OUR HOMELAND
AND DESTROYING INFRESTRUCTURE OF OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS .. SCHOOLS ARE THE KEY TO OUR NATIONS FUTURE
The Puerto Rican government has closed down hundreds of schools in the last few years. Many are still abandoned but companies, nonprofits and community groups have become interested in the buildings. Who should own them?
ruclips.net/video/1QHjm5utFxE/видео.html
@@reasonablethought1901 do you plan on hiring natives and pay them more than 7.50hr? Or maybe buy one of the 100s of elementary schools and turn it into something beneficial instead of a movie theater? Or is it building a hotel too close to the beach causing beach erosion? I am genuinely curious.
It’s enjoyable seeing these young ladies talking about the Puerto Rico status, something I used to do 60 years ago. I am a USA citizen by birth and still a pro independence. La patria no se traiciona. Those who do betray Boriken, should move and stay in the Continental USA permanently; and please don’t ever come back! You are doing Puerto Rico a tremendous favor by staying away.
Puerto Ricans would have more support if they weren't all so hateful to Puerto Ricans born and raised on the mainland.
Independent Puerto Rico would be in shambles without US backing. All that Independent Puerto Rico talk fell silent when Maria rolled through the island.
Excellent narrative and commentary.
These women are very well versed in
The status of Puerto Rico 🇵🇷.

@Internet Critic 2 funny
@Internet Critic next interview, Joe Biden ☘️falls off bike & up the stairs toward Air Force1😂
In lies lol
This is the same woman who lied about her grandmother situation in PR and her grandmother called her out on it.
Nothing but a traitor to my people
Where does it say she lied about her abuela? I can’t find anything other than right wing trolls “donating” money to her abuela and her abuela rejecting said “donations”.
AOC is a poster child representing NYricans. She knows nothing about the issues Puerto Rico faces.
Good for you. She's still speaking truth on what is happening in Puerto Rico.
Ella siempre se ha identificado como boricua. Nunca he escuchado sobre lo que dices, y en última instancia, es su problema. Desde que llegó al Congreso ha hecho muy buen trabajo y desde el principio nos ha tenido presente en sus decisiones. Eso es lo que nos debe importar y no los bochinches que le gusta principalmente a los republicanos racistas.
We don’t need a Hawaii 2.0

Muy orgullosa de lo lejos que has llegado Bianca! Sigue adelante ❤️
We need to revive our Arawak way’s of living with honor and respect
Well, let's see if the bill it's passed is the crucial point. In a polarized Congress, it may be difficult. I think independence would be supported by major parties for various reasons.
This is way past due on an island with a population, larger than many many US states. It’s transparent that they don’t want to make this beautiful island anything more than what it is.
Thanks for left the colony option out of the proyect!🙌🏿
Puerto Rico needs to be its own country. The invading Americans need to get out.
Excellent reporting on a difficult topic! Thank you Bianca!
One thing portorricans are united about is not to lose US citizenship ever...
Explain to me why they don't want to lose their citizenship since the vast majority of them hate this country, AOC being a good example. She hates everything about this coun 23:44 try, its values, tradition, and history. Not to mention she's as dumb as a door nail, with not one once of common sense.
A Boricua man of color, an independent thinker, "The White Rose Movement"
I’ve been waiting for this interview 🥰
Very well done.
This interview should have been done in Spanish so that the people in Puerto Rico can understand how they are being used and abused.
Bianca sumamente impresionado con tu trabajo 🇵🇷🙏👍 quien dice que nuestra juventud esta perdida? tu representas juventud productiva y profesional en todo lo que e visto en tus videos gracias por tu trabajo y muchas bendiciones! you do a awesome job ! huge fan ! R lamb
this post has been reported!
tu eres una exception ; nuestra juventud esta perfida y punto
I think we need full independence for Puerto Rico and AOC as it's president.
Highness Bianca - I am Organic to this land mass and my son is Taino. We are actually working on making sure we as indigenous organic people do not sign with the bankrupt US corporate charter and hope that you all do not sign for at will enslavement with the bankrupt US Corporation .. they have no jurisdiction here and you would need to sign with them in order to be colonized. They have NOT honored the treaties here and they do not have any 'privileges' for you... what privileges do you see with any colonized land. This is a time where the bankrupt corporation is BEGGING - you all need to work with us who are Organic to North and South America (names we will be changing in the future) to unify as indigenous people in Canada, NA, PR, Mexico, and South America
Great work
Spain 🇪🇸 and the USA 🇺🇸 are on the same team
Puerto Rico needs to stop dealing with Spain.
🤡
Asking who’s input? our input? I’ve been here for 45 years. Never heard anything about this. I knew something someone was doing but nothing else.
This is the first time. And I asked nearly everyone I spoke to today. Nothing
Glad to hear this discussion. And I support not having a "Keep the status quo" option in this bill. The "status quo" is exactly what we need to change. Either become a state or gain sovereignty.
so you rather not give people a choice and impose your will you have spoken like a true Democrat

@@gdiaz8827 the status quo is the tool for milking PR without having obligations, would you want to keep the old status quo with the mafia in Italy for example ?
@@ottodidakt3069 you are the one limiting choice so its you that are acting like a member of the Pelosi mafia forcing PR to become a state just so she can have more blue votes in Congress. If the people freely wush to keep the status quo thats their choice make it does not belong to that fake AOC
US citizenship isn’t something to praise about. All it really means is that we’re subject to paying taxes no matter where you are in the world. It’s the only industrialized nation to tax based on citizenship.
The United States isn’t going to improve itself as a country and it would be foolish to vote for statehood due to the fact that it’s a dying empire.
With independence, Puerto Ricans have a shot in making something of itself internationally. There are more options for economic development
Very good, Singleton. You have a well developed sense of anticolonialism. Unlike many ignorant colonialized Puerto Ricans who favor the condemned status quo or statehood.
Nothing to praise about yet lots of people risk their lives to come here 🙄. Please stop the BS
I like the idea of PR independent, but and it’s a huge BUT!! My trust in Puerto Rican politics is zero,, so yeah 🤷🏽♀️

😆 am I about to get deported? Just remember America to send me my pension check. And another thing, stay out of Puerto Rico!
I never get your videos in my feed. Love your work.
And like Hawaii, the none Puertorriqueños votes deciding the status
I sure hope not!!!
Great point!....... We puertorriquenos need to open our minds and wake up to reality........ It's time to take action!
Like New Calédonia in décember
And Hawaii should be a independence country too just like Puerto Rico, Hawaii was invaded but they were invaded by rich moron's and overthrown their Queen. And look at Hawaii, Hawaii is a state but is good for the rich only while the Hawaiians work constantly and still struggles to get ends meet while their land are still getting destroyed by the rich

What's going on with your setup? You usually film behind a "real" background. I'm guessing from your apartment/house. But why did you decide to sit in front of a clearly visible green / blue screen for this video?
Thanks for the story!
Politicians are best at politics. This lady's interest is in her political career. Her stand has always been opposing Statehood. What changed?
She has always been in favor of self determination for U.S. territories including PR, DC, and VI, ect…
More votes for the Progressives pockets don't have totally let open boarders fly.
I think she is only doing this to win votes for the midterm elections cycle after which she will go back to 🖕🏾 Puerto Rico islanders as usual 🙄🤷🏾♂️🙄
Regardless, the Act gives the people the option to choose for themselves. Her views are not imposed on the Act.
@@leuna9
I'm not convinced of that at all.
I don't trust that snake.
All Puerto Ricans should be Able to vote, regardless of where they live at
Amen!
As long as Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens, they should have all the rights & privileges of U.S. citizenship!
Im for self sovereignty... PR needs to be given a fair shot in taking care of PR without just being hit with this seemingly strong wave of pressure for just statehood. .
Buen trabajo Bianca. Aunque creo que el Congreso no aprobará el proyecto de ley al que hace referencia Alexandria. Además, Alexandria usa el ejemplo de Palau que es incomparable a Puerto Rico, en población, distancia, penetración e inmigración a los EEUU. Segundo, no se discute el sí o el no y la participación del eventual voto de los puertorriqueños residentes en los EEUU. Tercero, Puerto Rico no es una neocolonia, es 100% colonia, por lo que Alexandria se equivoca al no reconocer el Derecho Internacional en cuestión ni ningún periodo viable de descompresión colonial o descolonización ANTES de cualquier voto en materia.
Estoy de acuerdo con lo que usted commento.
It is exactly my reason for the comment I placed on here, on the "bill" and AOC. Please take a moment to read it. Gracias. ❤
Wait a minute. Why be in a rush to join a country that makes a point to lie to people about what they are entitled to. I would be so quick to try and do that . Nobody deserves false hope in the level we get it. I wouldnt wish it on anyone.

This is a show for elections
What an incredibly sane comment.
Let's keep in mind that the United States has broken over 400 treaties with the Native Americans on the continent.
puerto rico needs to be free to make its own laws and economyand no live by controling tyrants,
I have a question since the signing of citizenship and all the legal boundaries and what could be done and whatnot could be done it is on paper right do we as Puerto Rican people that were born here and also that was born here but didn't grow up here we have the right to those papers and where can we find them from the president that signed citizenship for the Puerto Rican people.

There's another scheme that the Netherlands used with it's Caribbean Islands: in theory placed them in equal status with mainland Netherlands, each manages it's own government except on defense, nationality and foreign relations. Each island sends a representative to the Netherlands and viceversa, to represent each other's interests, as well as serving as a sort of ambassador to the government but with voting status. Each can trade freely, manage their own taxes, have their own central bank, currency, airlines, etc
That's true for Aruba, Curaçao and Saint Maarten. But how about Bonaire, Saba and Statia? They're integral public bodies of the Netherlands. (Openbaar Lichaan) meaning they're integral part of the Netherlands BES Dutch Caribbean. Bonaire is facing the same as Hawaii where rich retirees from the Mainland purchase land and build villas and they're quickly depriving the local islanders from their basic rights of their island.
@@AliAli-uk9nh so I've heard. Weren't they trying to make another referendum on that in Bonaire to change the status?

Does anyone know what happened to this bill?
👏👏👏 🇵🇷 I was born and raised in the states..I love it here, but I am ashamed of others who treat me bad because I speak English. I believe that you and the senator can help the people of Puerto rico and congress learn the truths that are not being told. Teaching is knowledge. I am moving back but hope that when I come back things may be different. 🙏 I notice that there are many who are still uneducated. And that is serious..I love your work. And I pray that your work will help the People of Puerto Rico. Thank you for sharing..
Uneducated alot of engineers are recruited from PR also majority know how to speak English since it's a tourist funded island why you think a lot of people from the US moving there besides the tax exemption they will get for their business
J.N. Peace, I think Puerto Ricans who are descendants of islanders in the USA and who speak English should be included in the vote for the status. And shame on all islanders for excluding Puerto Ricans who are not born and raised speaking Spanish. The stathooders are the most ridiculous for excluding Nuyoricans who can't speak Spanish yet they want to be part of the USA without speaking fluent English or understanding what it means to pay a lot of taxes for the USA treasury to get further into debt with dumb wars that never help the average citizen trying to educate their kids and pay their mortgages. Be realistic you statehooders! You will lose your Spanish, you will assimilate and you will also have to cope with bad government. That is what being a state is all about! Ha ha.
@@vidarivera5305 puerto rico.51
Don t worry just study your videos and learn some Spanish. Your heart is in the right place. Keep up with your progressive independence-supporting ideas. You'll be OK.
@@fasteddie9055 i Don't thing so.i Don't want Puerto.Rico.Like Cuba and Haiti.
Very interesting! I'm all for the Independence of Puerto Rico!!!!
That would be stupid. Without the United States Puerto Rico will become a poverty country like Santo Domingo. The people in Puerto Rico are not all Puerto Ricans. Making it a state so they pay taxes and to stop invaders will keep it safe from poverty. Only the Spanish make the votes. Congress has the decision to make it Statehood. Puerto Rico will never become independent. It is Common Wealth.
The political Dominican or lady Alexandra Cortez from Congress wouldn't be here if not going through our US territory. Puerto Rico is why you invaders go there because it is US territory with the same US currency. That is the difference between Puerto Ricans being Spanish and the Political Dominican not even Hispanic.
All jokes aside. Puerto Rican land should be made affordable to Puerto Ricans born in Puerto Rico.
Very very informative! Muchas gracias por estas entrevista!!

They do this always and after we vote for statehood nothing happens ridiculous..

She was a horrible bartender…. She’s even worse as a government official.
If Puerto Rico becomes a state the Puerto Rico citizens will have to pay property taxes!! Most Puerto Rico citizens will not be able to afford this and lose their homes!!
Property taxes are a state/territory-level tax, not a federal tax. How would statehood change this?
@@hectorir saludos yo tengo mi casa en la florida.y lo que pago de taxes al ano.solo pago.$3.400.nunca e tenido problenas..

Federal Income tax
In PR property taxes are called “CRIM”, therefore, we are already paying it… try another one, dude.
Bianca, I love your passion and everything you do.
She better be against colonization if she wants to be here in PR. We hate gringo lovers
We don't have oil or rocks diamonds etc. No Resources whatsoever, so independent is a NO NO boriquas.
15:50. Is AOC refering to Resident Commissioner Jenniffer Gonzalez Colón?
For sure a colony and the solution is to vote for independence or statehood. The best solution is independence. Congress is unlikely to approve statehood. The benefits of independence we can be open to the world and trade with them. In the meantime, the Puerto Rican government meaning Puerto Ricans has to be held accountable instead of this gringo bull. Yes, there is history in the past and we can go over and over the injustices of the past or present.
The main reason people say independence is the best option is because we could trade with the whole world but no one sits and think... trade what? The Dominican Republic can trade with the whole world also and let's compare them to PR. We have nothing to trade with the world. Puerto Rico doesn't manufacture anything. 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.
Puerto Rico necesita ser libre! Soy mexicano y lo mejor que pueden hacer es ser un país independiente. Les pasará lo mismo que a Hawaii si se convierten en estado y si no lo hacen pronto habrá más gringos viviendo en EUA y votaran por sus intereses y no por la gente de Puerto Rico!
Puerto Rico is free. I was born and raised here and I can come and go freely. And continue to do so.
Para terminar como otros. Nogracias
Definitely, you have done your homework with the questions. Great!!
no no no state status give me the food stamps and free benefits
The rich that lives or owns property doesn't what PR to be a state! Why? Because the rich will end up paying their fair share of taxes.
When you say Puerto Rico, can you guys press on RRRRR a little bit more? Sometimes I don’t understand if you are talking about Puerto Rico or Liverpool United Kingdom.
That's just the puerto rican accent. lots of the Rs turn to Ls
US should cut loose Puerto Rico, like the US did with Liberia
Hell yeah.
Hi Bianca, do you have any updates on this topic?
*I am totally for Puerto Rico as the 51st State.* That said, if PR was a colony it would be that of Spain. To the US, the island is a territory. Calling it a colony is inflammatory and makes Depression Era and Boomer aged Congressfolk dig in their heels even more.
Independence? It's a romantic notion that results in a right- or left-wing regime taking over in short order with invitations to Russia or China, respectively. And no one is going to vote for a PR descendant US Presidential candidate once PR is independent. The US should invite all five territories into Statehood. It doesn't ruin our system. It will actually prove that the US Constitution and Bill of Rights works even with differences in language and perceived differences in culture.
I kinda hate that RUclips recommended me this channel. It's stressing me out. LOL
As a half puerto rican, I say PR needs independence. Y'all are the only hispanics that aren't independent and that's embarrassing.
We hate the banana republic USA! And their people even more, blacks and whites.
In the meantime their needs to be a ization law where non Puerto Ricans are allowed to purchase the minimalist amount of land..lest we Puerto Ricans end up fighting for sovereign land like Hawaii or Palestine.

Rather independence over statehood. Otherwise is gonna face the same fate like Hawaii or an occupied Palestine

Is there a site where we may read the proposed Bill?
I would like to read that proposal as well. I find the whole thing questionable and dislike double-talk from any US Congress member.
every time they vote they no one party has enough vote to change maybe they should be given two statehood or freedom. i think they should be given freedom.

Thsnk you Bianca and AOC for your Courage against big bully etcs
AoC, Puerto Rico has very little production. How are we going to maintain the same quality of life without any federal aid (billions annually). Sounds to me like two of those options, leave people hungry and without a means to maintain public infrastructure like public housing, bridges, roads. 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.
Puerto Rico needs to become it own country.
Yeah, and the moment it does become its own country another country will take it..maby Russia. You need to stop it. I'm Puerto Rican from New York and I know that makes no sense. Puerto Rico has no military on its own and will be taking over by another country the moment it becomes a country on its own.
Hell no no moris de hambre queremos state hood queremos ser estado republicano conservador
Yes
Puerto Rico it a beautiful island that could do it on their on and make business to United States, we could adjust united states, live natural God bless
@olgarivera3792 PR cannot make it because the government it's socialis
love you videos keep up the good work 💯💪🏼🇵🇷
For Puerto Rico only 2 options. Independence or Statehood.
I do support Puerto Rico Statehood, but I’m not going to support Puerto Rico Statehood if they are going to act like they are owed something. All us Americans are fighting our own battles and struggles to make a living. If Puerto Rico wants independence, then great. It’s not like we need Puerto Rico.
Free Association is still independence, but on training wheels…

If AOC wants to help Puerto Rico, how about introducing legislature to eliminate "The Jones Act"? That will help Puertoricans! That will really help the island.
Totally agree 💯 it would help so much
I totally agree. This bill is bullshit.
That would never happen. Too much money and power behind that chess move.
have to agree
She doesn’t want to help PR
Puerto Rico should be a Republic. We don’t need anyone’s permission to have our own freedom and Liberty.

Only two options Statehood or independence nothing in between.. despierta Boricua
jose rivera puerto rico state 51
Statehood equals an extreme case of colonialized mentality. I ve completed my political science courses in college. Like anything else, anticolonialism is best developed thru diligent study. Personal uneducated opinions may be mere expressions of ignorance or mistaken identity. Good luck , Rivera. You are correct about the independence option.
@@snipersquat4758 Vives en el caserio?? Hablas como un vendido.
@@fasteddie9055 muchacho estas perdido.. vivo en la nacion americana en la que Puerto Rico.pertenece.ok.no en cuba no en haiti.ok
I agree. The third option only add to the confunsion. If Puerto ricans choose the third choice, they will be treated as an independent state with time. AOC talks about treaties. Ask Native Americans if it works for them. Statehood, one nation, one language is the best viable choice.
Your journalistic integrity is above reproach! Gracias 🙏🏽 Boricua ✊🏽💪🏽🙌🏽🇵🇷
If puertoricans want to be a country as bad a Venezuela, Cuba or RD, just vote to be independent. If you want to be like Texas, California or NM, vote to be a state. Just don't complain after if you end having a Castro or Chavez as president.
WE ARE TO TINY TO BE LEFT THE HELL ALONE ... IN PUERTO RICO EVERYONE IS ARMED TO THE TEETH !!!! ...
AND EVERYONE ONE IS READY FOR A MASSSIVE REVOLUTION .... ITS JUST A MATTERR OF TIME ...
WE NEED THESE EVIL THIEVES OF BANKERS OUT OF PUERTO RICO .. THEY DON'T INVEST IN US BUT USE US AS A TAX HEAVEN WHILE OUR CHILDREN ARE ROBBED OF AN EDUCATION ....
OUR CHILDREN NO LONGER HAVE SCHOOLS ... BUT BANKS AND FORIEGN COMPANIES ARE BUYING UP OUR HOMELAND
AND DESTROYING INFRESTRUCTURE OF OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS .. SCHOOLS ARE THE KEY TO OUR NATIONS FUTURE
The Puerto Rican government has closed down hundreds of schools in the last few years. Many are still abandoned but companies, nonprofits and community groups have become interested in the buildings. Who should own them?
ruclips.net/video/1QHjm5utFxE/видео.html
ok but if puerto rico ends up voting on free association, would the us continue to unfairly tax everything on the island? will the power situation with luma be addressed and fixed?
That would be a big F U.
That would be very shameless
I believe if they choose free association everything will be the same.
No questions about statehood option itself? Why not?!
AOC only wants independence for Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico would be a huge experience for the United States if the island became a state. 🇺🇦
