Puerto Ricans are not "dreamers", they are US citizens

[MsgtVizcarra]

Quit saying that a lot of Latinos are not allowed to vote, if you have the right to vote, Latinos you can vote, no American citizen is deprive from voting,

[VonNothias]

I hope we all know that it doesn't matter who is in the 'top job' because this is a systemic problem -- greed. We have allowed many of our economic sectors, to take advantage of the American people. It's disgusting and frightening for the future of our country. My wife and I will be retiring in the next two years n another country. We are absolutely worried that SSI will no longer be funded. we'll have to rely on my pension, a 403 (b) and a very prolific lnvestment account with my Abby Joseph Cohen my FA. Our national debt is bloating and expanding every month. Our government needs to get spending under control and cut the federal budget.

Many of us Mexican Americans and puerto ricans serve in the united states military. Im one of them.

[conniesanchez]

I wish all Latinos would think like that. And stop trying to belong with Trump and his goonies.

[pokerpat]

All right my Latino brothers, ENOUGH!!!! I call upon all intelligent, patriotic Latino Americans to stop the racist tRUMP once and for all. Vote💙up & down the ballot & for Gods' sake LOCK HIM UP!!!!

[NotchoLife]

1:45 “ Las Vegas Mexican consulate” what does that have to do with Puerto Ricans 😂😂 the stretch

[alejandroorozco]

I really hope the Latinos come together now and stay together. This is how much respect we get from the Trump

[BenjaminCintron-ej]

The problem with Hinchcliff is that he didn't make any White racist joke's or White political racist joke's, he just aimed it at minorities. Fact Puerto Rican's aren't a minority cause there's over 5 million of Rican's in America & they hold job's from blue collar to white collar jobs. So no Enstiens, Puerto Rican's are not a minority we're a majority that's why the white ethnic groups are afraid of Puerto Rican's cause we're on the rise non stop.

[openmind]

Only seven days left for the big day and I can't wait.

[ThatLad]

1- he was only joking.
2- even the maga crowd clearly didn’t love the joke.

[navado]

So many Americans don't know Puerto Ricans are US citizens 😂

[tirathgarcha]

Who hired that so called comedian at this critical junction of the campaign.
WHY

[anthonyanthonymorones]

That is true that guy, Tony, even though I am Mexican Native American, but when he said some thing about Puerto Rico saying about garbage now that I got offended, I respect the Puerto Ricans and also I respect Cubans as well

[micaelrutledge]

Last week I voted for Women, Gen Z, Veterans, Dreamers, and Puerto Rico and others. Vote Blue all ballot!!!💙💙💙

[Someoneouthere]

Instead of attacking comedians why not do a report on the 325, 000 kids missing from the border. If you care so much about Latinos, help find the children. Im talking you the reporters for those of you confused. There are more important things than fake, blown out of proportion racism

[melissacoupal]

It's disturbing that these politicians are more upset about a joke being made about Puerto Rico having a trash problem than they are about the FACT that Puerto Rico does have a trash problem!

[teresaboone]

trump insults everyone that's smarter than him . Anyone voting for him cant be to bright.

[HeadLxck]

Yall are too soft 😂

This is why comedians don’t go to Dem cities to preform

[RobOlgatree]

US GOVT has tried for years to get Puerto Rico to clean up the garbage there. He could have said, where's the money going for better health
