I must not have been paying attention, but why is Puerto Rico part of the primary race? Yes it is an annexed region of the US, but it is not an official state and does not have all the privileges of official states so why should it have a hand in helping to choose presidential candidates? Of course this doesn't matter for us, since McCain in the nominee and I couldn't care less if Hillary uses this as reasons to continue her campaign. But what does matter is that we, as Americans, are diluting our rights with those of people from another country. They are not members of the US, they don't serve and protect our borders, they don't pay taxes like us, why should they get the same rights as us! I am sick of our government extending power and status to those that have not worked for the country as hard as I have, or my fellow citizens have. It is time for some change in that area and I know that McCain will be able to provide it since he is tough on immigration, I just hope that he will be able to be tough on things that have existed and been grandfathered in like this Puerto Rico business. It's time for some McCleaning in the government.
