Uploaded to U.S News by Charles R. Venator-Santiago on March 3rd 2017, the author was discussing about how Puerto Ricans are being treated unfairly in terms of the rights and equality as a citizen. That is the big questions are they? Recently Puerto Ricans were available to be granted 3 different types of citizenship throughout the year. A poll was taken and it showed that only 43% knew that Puerto Ricans were considered Citizens of the United States. Since 1898 there were over 100 bills talking about their citizenship. 11 was above the citizenship laws, but after a while the bills were conferred and that created the 3 different types citizens from Puerto Rico. The author was neutral toward the subject and that can be relatable because this is a hard topic to talk about, with everything going on recently. This can change many laws that can affect families and friends. They may be considered citizens or not, but if they are they must be treated equally as all citizens of the United States of America. This can also cause tension between the people and the government. This information can be used to show how many people actually know who's a citizen or not. People may or may not be a citizen, but that doesn't give a person the right to treat someone else beneath them.
