Over the years, I have been surprised at how the USA seldom talks about Puerto Ricans. Many Americans know little to nothing about thier history. Some say they are foreigners. With so much emphasis on illegals, they are simply forgotten. Before, it was all about Cubans and the fight over the little boy from Cuba. Many Mexicians do not considered ricans as hispanics. How ironic to think that Mexicans are the only hispanics when Spain had visited the Caribbean long before Mexico. Peurto Ricans are easier to get along with. They do clique against others like La Raza. Many ricans are pro- illegals. This is a major mistake! Mexicans are using them for ulterior motives. I live in El Paso and used to live in San Antonio, I know how they are treated. Many choose to simply blend into the Mexican community and exist. I know ricans, cubans, and dominicans who are treated like dirt in Texas. The USA wants Puerto Rico to become a State but fails to treat ricans with appropriate respect.
