Corsican immigration to Puerto Rico
In regard to the surnames of the "first" Corsican families to immigrate to Puerto Rico. This list was compiled by genealogist and historian Colonel (USAF Ret. ) Hector A. Negroni who has done exhaustive research on the Corsican migration and origins of his Negroni family name. "Read": "Please do not make any changes to this list". The list comes from a verifiable source. Unless you have proof from a reliable source as, is required by Wikipedia policy, that the Carbovecchio and the Mercuricci families were among the "first", their surnames will be removed. If you continue to revert, it will considered vandalism and you may be banned from editing. Tony the Marine 18:39, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Re:Your question
Mikuai,

Where are you from? In regard to your question in U.S. citizenship. U.S. citizenship was imposed among Puerto Ricans in 1917. It was imposed because Puerto Ricans did not ask for it and had no voice in the matter. The reason that the United States granted citizenship to the citizens of Puerto Rico and Guam was because the U.S. needed manpower for WWW I and therefore, Puerto Ricans and the pepole from Guam became eligiable for the military draft. U.S. citizenship is one with limited rights since Puerto Ricans in the island are not allowed to vote for the President of the United States, nor have a true representative in that country's government, the U.S. Senate and Congress. Puerto Rico does have a resident commissioner in Congress, however he does not have a vote.

However, U.S. citizenship does have its advantages in the sense that you can travel to and from the island without a pasport, plus if you move to the mainland U.S.A. you have then have all of the rights that all the other citizens enjoy. Tony the Marine 02:09, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
