Nearly Half of Americans Don’t Know Puerto Ricans Are Fellow Citizens
A new poll suggests many Americans don’t realize that what happened in Puerto Rico is a domestic disaster, not a foreign one.
More than three million Americans in Puerto Rico are struggling to meet basic needs after a devastating strike from Hurricane Maria, but their plight seems to be attracting far less public or political attention than the woes caused by the recent hurricanes in Texas and Florida.
Dear mainlanders, one more time, again and again:
Puerto Ricans are your fellow Americans.
Puerto Ricans are your fellow Americans.
Puerto Ricans are your fellow Americans.
