Thinkprogress:
In a press release last week, Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite (R-FL) attacked the new economic stimulus bill for sending “hundreds of millions of dollars” to “foreign citizens,” including “residents of Puerto Rico and territories like Guam.” Calling her comments “infuriating and contradictory,” the Puerto Rican House of Representatives demanded “a public apology” today from Brown-Waite for referring to Puerto Ricans as “foreign citizens.” Puerto Ricans were made American citizens in 1917.
Ginny certainly made an ignorant statement...

lol, seems i recall that the fine people of puerto rico made it clear that they wanted to keep their asses out of the union.
Waite is on another planet with that remark about Puerto Ricans.
