Latino gang

oh don’t mind me just taking some time to appreciate some of my favorite Latino actors because I can and representation matters and these people make me smile. There are so many more actors and actresses who inspire me, it would take one hundred posts to cover them all. Don’t ever let anyone tell you what you can or cannot do based on the color of your skin, where your family is from, where you are from or what accent you have. ¡ARRIBA ESA BANDERA!

I am really appalled by comments that I’ve seen about us coming to the aid of Puerto Rico, which has been brutally ravaged back-to-back by hurricanes Irma and Maria - comments about how they don’t deserve our “foreign” aid, they send too many “illegals” and “refugees” here… So, I thought it would be worthwhile to share the following: ⭕ Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory! Therefore, they are not a “foreign” land. ⭕ Puerto Rico is not a U.S. territory by our virtue and goodwill - we took control of Puerto Rico in a war with Spain. ⭕ All Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens. Not a single person born on Puerto Rican soil, is “illegal.” ⭕ Puerto Ricans were made U.S. citizens by the U.S. Congress - despite Puerto Rican protests - in the 1910s, which meant that Puerto Rican men were subsequently drafted into World War I. ⭕ Puerto Rico has **ZERO** voting representation in Congress - therefore, they cannot vote on things like the budget (which includes hurricane relief), whether or not to go to war, etc. ⭕ Puerto Ricans are not Mexican. ⭕ Puerto Rico is an island - and therefore, they don’t share ANY border with the contiguous United States. This makes “Build That Wall” chants sound even more stupid and vile. Let’s not spite our fellow countrymen and women, just because their native tongue isn’t English. 🇵🇷

The Puerto Rico rarely shown!
