Puerto Rico Light

Do you feel like a fish in the water, or do you feel like a striped zebra? Many people are experiencing situations that they feel abandoned. There are some expectations for Spanish culture, especially when speaking their language. Because I do not know Spanish, I feel that I have not touched the heritage of Puerto Rico. In my life, I was not accepted by culture itself. Because I was classified as a fake Puerto Rican person. When I was 12 years old I went to Puerto Rico to visit my family.

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 born in Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico, or a US citizen living 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, supports independent songs and sings, negotiations are illegal or election independent

Since 1952, Puerto Rico has three major political parties. People's Democratic Party (Spain PPD), New Progressive Party (Spain PNP), and the Puerto Rican Independent Party (PIP). The three represent different political positions. For example, PPD is aimed at maintaining the status of the island as a federation of the United States, but PNP aims to make Puerto Rico the state of the United States. In contrast, the PIP attempts to completely separate it from the United States by trying to make Puerto Rico a sovereign state. Regarding the power of political parties, PPD and PNP usually hold about 47% of voting, but PIP owns only about 5%.
