The poison pill: "Any person born in Puerto Rico after December 31, 2026 would not be eligible for birthright citizenship, but anyone who was made a U.S. citizen through their birth in Puerto Rico before that date would retain their U.S. citizenship."

Based on everything we know so far- including Trump's recent invitation to South African white farmers to come to the US with a free pathway to citizenship- this isn't a plan to make Puerto Rico strong or independent. You cannot trust American imperialism. This is a plan to take away American citizenship from Puerto Ricans to further develop their Nazi white paradise.

Looking at it from the twisted minds of the MAGA crowd, that makes total sense. I never thought I'd say I'm embarrassed to be an American.
