Puerto Rico’s Preference
It was inspiring to read Mario Loyola’s article “Puerto Rico Libre” in the January 23 issue. Loyola is a patriot and wants the best for Puerto Rico, which he correctly describes in beautiful imagery as full of potential. He concludes that the best chance for prosperity in Puerto Rico is independence from the United States — for the territory of Puerto Rico to become the nation of Puerto Rico. The idea is to shed the welfare-state dependency that comes with territoriality. But that would be overkill.
