Anyone having 2nd thoughts? by Jolo84

My parents and friends think I'm crazy for still wanting to move to the Caribbean after all that's going on with the economy. The way I see it, the way the US is going with all the shootings, threats, kidnappings, etc, we are not safe ...

Jolo84

African Americans in Puerto Rico by Jolo84
