Proposal

             My proposal for Puerto Rico and its rights is to help the needed. To not have a difference because of race or even because their immigrants or not. To give a hand to those that really needed, for use not to rely on the promises. The govenrment itself have to stand up and give a word for their actions.

         We as Puertoricans have to get in the shoes of some of the government officials. I propose a better Puerto Rico, a safer place to live, a better community. By protecting our elderly people, by enforcing the law in all the ways. Also trying to deal with the problems, this shall all be done for everyone to accept the change. I want a change! That the law should be the same for everyone, even police officers, which some see that by them been police there bad actions wont be justified.

       We live in a world were there are problems everywhere, but i think we can change that overtime. We should take the example of Singapur. Which there the law and everything is equal. We should build a better Puerto Rico for the next generation  to have a word here, because its there's no progress we might end been in dictatorship!

Changes and or Progress?

        Regardless of the position in which Puertorican senators or even the governor have been, they had tried to make a change on the rights of the citizens of Puerto Rico. Even though they should give more help to the immigrants, its a process in which it would take time. Maybe they even say they need money, beacause here in PR everything is done by money.

                                                
       Nowadays there are problems with the Federal Government, they might close because of lack of money. That could be a mayor problem that can take away somen benefits to the elderly and to college students. For college students they would not have the scholarshipo each student gets. After that they probably do a protest, they are popular for that, that wont lead to nothing good, because they would get into fights with the police. The police wont respond to their actions, but neither the students. For the elderly, they could get less from their social security. Which is very unfair because they worked years, for when they retired they have their benefits.
  

                        


       Such things are happening all over the world. The world works with money, you can basically do anything with money. If there is lack of money, nothing is going to be done. To produce you need to start from zero, and have to pass through several issues, problems, etc. But at the end ita all worthy.

Oppression in Puerto Rico

Oppression in  Puerto Rico was for the tainos. It was all because they wanted to promote and respect the environment. They wanted to renew its integrity of the Bucana River, in Ponce Puerto Rico. It was all because the governement wanted to go against them, and they thought because they were more than the tainos, that they were gonna hold back and do what told.

But still the Tainos did what they they felt like too. The government of Puerto Rico and the Department of Natural Resources has gone against the public mandate of set by their organizations. General Council of Tainos Borincanos is requesting support from all Puerto Rican/Boricua environmental, cultural and indigenous communities as well as international indigenous rights organizations in order to exercise our rights as a people as well protect our patrimonial legacy.

Amnesty in Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico is a self-governing commonwealth in association with the United States. The chief of state is the President of the United States of America. The head of government is an elected Governor. There are two legislative chambers: the House of Representatives, 51 seats, and the Senate, 27 seats.
Amnesty is sometimes taken in cosideration in Puerto Rico. Amenesty a legislative or executive act by which a state restores those who may have been guilty of an offense against it to the positions of innocent people.

Puerto Rico has there own laws but its constituion is based on the United States of America. The major differences between Puerto Rico and the 50 states are exemption from some aspects of the Internal Revenue Code, its lack of voting representation in either house of the U.S. Congress.

Italians Journey to America

 During the mass emigration from Italy during the century between 1876 to 1976, the U.S. was the largest single recipient of Italian immigrants in the world. However, their impact was not as great as countries like Argentina and Brazol. The Italians did play a major role though, socially with individuals rising to national stature in many different fields.
In 1850, less than 4,000 Italians were reportedly in the U.S. However in 1880, merely four years after the influx of Italian immigrants migrated, the population skyrocketed to 44,000, and by 1900, 484,027. From 1880 to 1900, southern Italian immigrants became the predominant Italian immigrant and stayed that way throughout the mass migration. Despite the increase numbers, the Italians were not the largest foreign-origin group in American cities.
 The Italians were known for rarely accepting charity or resorting to prostitution for money, another reflection of patterns in Italy.
As in many other places in the world, Italians in America clustered into groups related to their place of origin. For example, the Neapolitans and Sicilians settled in different parts of New York, and even people from different parts of Sicily settled on different streets. However, what seldom occurred in U.S. were Italians enclaves, or all-Italians neighborhoods.
The living conditions for the Italians tended to be over crowded and filthy all over the U.S.. Italian laborers also tended to skimp on food in a desperate attempt to save money. However, after time and new generations of Italians, the dirtiness of their homes disappeared along with the complaint of weak Italians from lack of nutrition.
The Italians were noted for their diligence and sobriety as workmen. In the late 19th and 20th centuries, Italians often became fishermen, shoemakers, waiters, fruit sellers, and tradesmen. Most were unskilled laborers though, working in mines and construction jobs. Over the years, the Italians rose up the economic scale but acquiring job skills in blue-collar job rather than by becoming educated and entering that profession.
