Puerto Rico

The most important fact about Puerto Rico is its location. Puerto Rico is located in the carribean next to the Dominican Republic. They are also a territory of the U.S.
In Puerto Rico less than half of the people know English. Enrique said maybe 40% of people know English. I think that is crazy considering that they are a territory of the US and they would like to become a state. I think that it is extremely important that a majority of the population can speak English before they become a state. If they can't, then more than half of the United States wont be able to communicate with them.
We also learned that Puerto Ricans eat a lot of meats, and beans and rice as a side. Their food is not spicy. They also do not eat chorizo. Enrique said that chipotle is not the type of food they eat. There rice and beans are separate sides, they do not eat them in tacos or burritos.
Puerto Rico has three major parties: PNP, PPD, PIP. These parties all have different goals. PNP want statehood. Most people in Puerto Rico do not want to become independent from the US anymore. They have not really strived for independence since the 30s. Enrique said that they can see how the independent states are around them, and they do not want to be that poor. Although some people still would like to become independent, a majority does not.
