Puerto Ricans have long run into a hassle with other Americans not understanding the island residents' birth rights.
Apparently, many Americans are unaware that Puerto Ricans are ... AmericansPuerto Rico is not considered a state under current law, though you might disagree with that situation, depending on where you fall on the political spectrum. The existence of the U.S. territory is news to some, as it seems there is confusion around whether Puerto Ricans are American citizens.
The island’s secretary of transportation, Eileen Velez Vega, and her department worked with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on a plan to change residents’ driver’s licenses to say “Puerto Rico USA.”driver’s licenses , though earlier attempts didn’t yield the desired result. Older licenses had the American flag printed on top, but people still reported not being able to use them to buy alcohol or fly without a passport. Though they’re United States citizens, Puerto Ricans don’t pay federal income tax but do pay local taxes, and there are limitations on their representation in Congress.
Ultimately, the licenses won’t do much to fix ignorance, and anyone looking to cause a fight over “foreigners” is going to do so with or without “USA” printed on the license. That said, many feel these licenses are a step in the right direction that could help make life easier for thousands of Puerto Rico residents.
