During the course of the class I have become very interested in learning about Latino politics, particularly Puerto Rican. I had heard of the difficulty of many minority groups becoming immersed into American Culture, but for some reason I repeatedly forgotten about the Puerto Ricans. Perhaps it was due to their proximity to the United States, but mostly likely it was because they are qualified as American citizens. That still has not made the road to acceptance any easier, as stereotypes continue to haunt them.

Although they do have citizenship, they do not get to receive many of the benefits that citizens who live in the U.S. receive. Many feel that they should be allowed to receive those benefits, such as voting rights, while many still feel that they are not a part of the U.S.
