First of all I just wanna clarify not all Puerto Ricans live off the Government but there's a growing amount of them applying to Welfare and Food stamps, I just don't like the fact that my taxes go to some drug selling crook who doesn't want to work & also I've noticed illegals work harder than those lucky enough that come from an island with U.S. citizenship.

The government does not give Welfare to illegals, you have to be legal just so you know

This whole argument is based on a stereotype of a population.
There are no facts to support it. Do you know all illegals? Then how do you know they are not on welfare? Have you asked someone who is hispanic where they are from when you see them dealing drugs? Probably not. Though the welfare system needs reformed it is for legal citizens, not illegals. This whole question is based on generalization of people. I sincerely doubt you can vouch for the personal character of people from PR or 12 to 20 million illegals, can you?

I want legal people in the country. Our welfare system has many different ethnicity's, some that are truly needed. Welfare has many system problems but at least the people using it are here legally. Better to try to change the system problems and give the chance to our own citizens. iam a nurse and many times have seen illegals with health needs. Our tax and health cost's soar because of this. that does not even include education. I have seen hard working legals get turned down for these things. Maybe we could take care of our own if we did not have this influx of illegals to pay for.

Puerto Rican's are Americans with no rights. They are not illegals. Where did you get that?? They are a US Territory!!
I don't like my taxes going to the rich, and please tell me how drug dealers apply for welfare, though I am not saying it never happens!

Definitely hard working illegals.
I live in NY. I'm familiar with PRicans. And I'd rather not comment, because I won't stop ranting!
Illegals may be breaking the law by sneaking into the country, but they're willing to work like mules!

Puerto Ricans because they are citizens, of a sort.
What is so hard to understand about us wanting to take care of our own people first?

My standard is 'legal'. Ethnicity, work ethic be damned, if you're in the United States illegally, pack your bags and get OUT.
The over-hyped hispanic work ethic hasn't done much for Mexico, has it? Um, 'no'.

Puerto Rico gets way too many unwarranted perks, and it really offers is a few vacation spots.
