Puerto Rico pushes for change in territorial status | ABC News

1. We have a right to protest our lands to declare independence I believe I know pr wants a war with the us they can’t take this no more we can’t give up we can’t be poor for years

2. Who are we kidding the U.S. DOES NOT want to lose this Island that in reality never belonged to them.
   We had no part or no say.
   The U.S. acts like Puerto Rico is a burden but we know the U.S. takes to the mainland much more than what it leaves us with. They've had a choke hold on our people since 1898. They have killed our leaders and our brave country men and women whom have fought to free our Island. Bombed our Island during peaceful protest for freedom killing Men, Women and Children…then they Celebrate America's freedom and other countries. HYPOCRITES.

3. No what needs to happened is a push for independence simple!

4. Im not part of puerto rican culture it sucks its a state i already put it out of picture

5. This is the price of being a colony, the colonizers smooches off the colony and whatever the colonizers give back to the colony it comes from the colony. CO,LONIZERS STEAL AND LIVE OFF THE COLONY RESOURCES JUST LIKE THE USA HAS BEEN DOING FOR YEARS TO Puerto Rico. Studies conducted by John Dunham and Associates,found that the Jones Act has prevented the creation of 13,250 jobs and $1.5 billion in annual economic growth, representing $1.1 billion in higher prices. $337.3 million in wages and $106.4 million in lost tax revenue. Puerto Rico is poor due to the corruption of the United States government.. Puerto Rico has the economic means to be Independent. Puerto Rico libre!

6. Puerto Rico is part of the Caribean and South America, not the USA. All the USA is doing in Puerto Rico is colonizing the Island time for the us imperialists to get out. I wonder what part of getting out the morons don't understand.

7. I know statehood causes protest. I declare independence because we have a right that my herritage will become a country so they can develop puerto rican money in spanish.

8. Look understand our people must declare their independence so we can create our independence. Hurry hurry to bitcoin and crypto to increase millions to declare independence. Plus puerto rico needs a President and vice president of puerto rico

9. Free puerto rico

18. am I the only one who noticed @ 0:26 ??? I don't live on the island (yet), but my hope is that more people will become like Ms. Alexandra-Marie Figueroa – clearly someone who loves her isla & her people. proud to have her fighting for the struggle. have you seen any PNP or PPD reps crying or hearing their voices crack when they talk about el pueblo? NO !!! because they're more concerned with votes & filling their coffers…malditos!!

    esperame que llego!! ❤️❤️❤️

19. Problem is that Puerto Rico is in so much debt that it would fail as an independent country. If it is absorbed as a state the debt is absorbed by the federal government.

20. Puerto Rico needs statehood, now
