America's Occupation of Puerto Rico

On July 25, 1898, the US military led by General Nelson Myers landed in Puerto Rico and began military invasion to Puerto Rico. Within three days, Mile and his troops bought Ponce City and let Spain take over the matter of time. The island was captured by force and placed under martial law, but the general response to American invasion was very positive. In fact, the local newspaper tells the readers that since the people of Puerto Rico praise the political and economic ideals of America greatly, the local newspaper says to the readers:

Puerto Rico has been the territory of the United States since 1898 (read: colony), in 1917 the Puerto Rican acquire American citizenship through the Congressional Act. However, the Puerto Ricans who live in Puerto Rico do not enjoy the full benefit of becoming a US citizen. For example, Puerto Rico's funds declined by 38% despite paying the same level health insurance tax as the other 50 states. People living in Puerto Rico can not vote for the President of the United States (but they can vote for the president's primary) and they are not voting in Congress.

Since 2007, the State Department of Puerto Rico created a protocol to issue Puerto Rico citizenship certificates to Puerto Ricans. In order to be qualified, the applicant must be a Puerto Rico-born parent born in Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico or a US citizen residing in Puerto Rico for at least one year. The Puerto Rican Senate has announced a bill to limit the rights of the island's independence and nationalist movements. At that time the Senate was controlled by People's Democratic Party (PPD) and hosted by Lewis Munoz Marin. This bill, also known as the gag law (Spanish: Ley de la Mordaza), was approved by Congress on May 21, 1948. It shows the flag of Puerto Rico, singing in support of independent songs, negotiations are illegal or election independent
