Editor's Note: This post was written by a student at the University of Puerto Rico - Mayaguez.
When talking to the politically aware who live in the mainland United States, Puerto Rico is often a forgotten subject. I am of the opinion that if the conservatives were to pay more attention to Puerto Rico and adopt the pro-statehood position they would soon realize that it benefits the conservative movement. What many don't realize is that Puerto Ricans are conservatives by nature - especially on the island.
