[QUOTE=BlueSkyJaunte;6856407]Used to work with a girl from
PR. She would always say "in my country blah blah blah"... I would ask her "the USA is your country, WTF are you talking about?" We would always go back and forth until I hit her with a comment about her passport.
I have to believe she is not the only Puerto Rican who feels that way...[/QUOTE
OMG! She referred to Puerto Rico as her "country"' not her "commonwealth"?
So you'd "hit her with a comment about her passport"? What kind of comment? One of a threatening nature?
I have to believe that you're not the only ignorant American who doesn't know WTF the story is, re Puerto Rico, et al.
You do not need a passport to travel between the Mainland United States and Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico is part of the United States. If residents of Puerto Rico want to travel outside the US then the same rules apply as any other US citizen, and they get a US passport.
This is also the same situation that applies to the US Virgin Islands, Guam, American Soma, and the Northern Mariana Islands.
