I tell you this, from my experience. My daughter married into a large, loud, and loving Puerto Rican family. Most of them have been in the US for a couple of generations, but some go back and forth pretty freely, and there is still family on the island. I found that out when my son-in-law was in the first group of volunteers to go down and replace cell towers that were destroyed in Hurricane Maria. What I know is this---you can take the Puerto Ricans out of the island, but you can't take the island out of the Puerto Ricans. You just DO NOT stand there and insult Puerto Rico. It will not go over well. It also didn't go over well with me as an honorary boricua!
