🇵🇷Just a little education because I often hear that all Puerto Rican’s do is use government assistance. Let’s break this down with facts and not words from people who have never lived there. 🤓✍🏻
I am Puerto Rican 🇵🇷, an island in the middle of the ocean surrounded by water. But actually very beautiful waters. 🏝
Oh, and we are Americans...🇺🇸
Yes, American citizens. For more than 100 years, in fact.
We also speak Spanish and English. And we have served in the army of the US since 1917...
Yes really!
We received 22.5 million dollars 💵 a year in social assistance and government grants; but we produce over 73 billion dollars for the US economy.
Why do we have two surnames?
Because women do not lose their last name when they get married and because we do not forget our mothers.
Our small island, surrounded by great waters, gives more members to military service than any other state of the US.
