UNBELIEVABLE! Because you just wrote this a few days ago on another thread:

Then, all of a sudden after reading a couple of posts trashing PR you've changed your tune. WOW.

You have NO credibility. Laughable. YOU obviously thought it was 'better there' also.

Good question because this is what he wrote a few days ago:

Can you believe it? Actually, I noticed on that thread ^that he was all 'gung ho to go' and apparently after reading a few PR bashing posts by others (the usual suspects) decided to join them?? WTF? He has NO credibility and offers NOTHING! Pathetic.

Again- Fl is a tropical state looks a lot like the islands so those who come here from other islands can assimilate easier, love the weather- food- ambiance, etc. and those complaining probably from the north and Midwest so adios to you - lets us keep our tropical paradise -

I understand his general concerns with them finding employment but lots of these new transplants since technically are they are US citizens can start their own businesses where knowing English would be stumbling block to employment. I actually strongly thought about about how these newcomers can be successful in Orlando.

*Create Puerto Rican Oriented Town Center that caters to the community
*It would be collaborative effort among various cities and towns in CFL
*Businesses such as Restaurants, Banks, Retail Shops, Grocery Shops, and Companies could employ them
*Offer College Courses
*It would create millions of dollars of revenue for the local area but also be the epicenter of Puerto Rican Culture.

What's the issue versus transplants from NY moving here in search of a "new NY"? Is is because they're brown-skinned Hispanics? Also as an FYI, Puerto Ricans are fellow tax-paying US citizens, so it's really none of your business as to why/where many of them choose to relocate. Don't like it? Move.

Well, NYers don't fly the NY flag and have special parades for NY pride. And I don't see many of the NY people you speak of, unless you mean the Nuyoricans.
