Most of us Boricuas are nice people and relaxed. We do have a rising population of illegal immigrants that have created havoc in our country. Most of the drug killings are local dealers defending their territory.
Oh and for those use to doing things the New York way... a word of caution... you will probably get hurt.

There's almost nothing helpful for women here...!
but let me tell you...this island is for real.
I am from Harlem n.y.c. born and raised and I have been around boricua's , dominicans, and haitians for most of my life.
here in p.r. nothing really matters. life just happens.
60% of the island voted FOR permanent Statehood. The first thing you notice when you travel around Puerto Rico is that while it has a Latin flavour, it is most decidedly mainland USA: WALGREENS, KMART,WALGREENS, Macy's, JC Penny, Marshall's, Sears, KFC, BURGER KING,MACARONI GRILL, OLIVE GARDEN, KRISPY KREAM,You name it: every mall and store you can find in any mainland US city. In fact, I do a lot of relocation and often get major complaints from Puerto Rican residents moving to Cincinatti or Kansas CIty about the LACK of stores and 24/7 Walgreens and supermakets they find in these cities.
While many if not most speak Spanish as their first language, the better educated and those interested in business all speak English.
if not statehood, What? a country that has no industry, no organized military( the police are a mess) no agriculture to sustain themselves, no GNP.
Statehood or Independence... neither is perfect but it's time to move forward.
The United States (US) government has made Puerto Ricans believe that there are 3 political status options for Puerto Rico. That is a lie. The purpose for that is to have Puerto Ricans fight amongst themselves. The plan has been a huge success! Puerto Rico has been a colony of the United States for 116 years, and judging by the 80% voter turnout in the colonial elections, the majority of us has not realized that we have been lied to.
In reality, there is only one option. The United Nations (UN) in 1960 determined that colonialism is a crime against humanity. Therefore, the only thing that Puerto Rico can do is to become her own nation. That means that the US must give Puerto Rico the sovereignty that the US illegally took away from her by virtue of the July 25, 1898 military invasion.
Thus far, the US government has ignored the 33 UN resolutions asking it to immediately decolonize Puerto Rico. Instead, it has tried to hide these petitions, and at the same time appear to believe in democracy by pushing for plebiscites so that Puerto Ricans could decide between colonialism, being a US state, or independence (decolonization as required by the UN).
The problem with the US pushed plebiscites are that they:
1. don’t comply with international law that prohibits a nation to have a colony.
2. don’t comply with international law that requires the empire to give the sovereignty it illegally took away to its colony.
3. don’t comply with international law that requires that to have free elections, that country must be free first.
4. have 2 options that are not permitted by international law- continuing being a colony and becoming a state of the country that has the colony. For the option of becoming a state of the country that has the colony to be considered, the colony must first become her own nation (decolonized).
This is why we have to peacefully protest 3 times a year until the US government complies with the UN resolutions for Puerto Rico decolonization.
