| Posted by: Ely (not registered) on January 17, 2006 at 05:05 pm |  | Puerto Rico is in many ways like a Third World country. It didn't surprise me when I found out that there isn't an online sex offender registry. But , what can be expected from a country that's been a parasite of the US for over 100 years? Puerto Rico's economy relies over 90% on Federal aid. Sadly, programs like a national registry comes second to food stamps and welfare. |
| Posted by: puertorrican (not registered) on January 24, 2006 at 12:34 pm | | I think people should be better informed before talking. Not just watching the news, but reading, research about the history and other things. If Puerto Rico is such parasite, why the USA have not given it independence?? |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on January 29, 2006 at 06:26 pm | | Ely really needs to broaden her mind (if possible), only uneducated, narrow minded individual (to be nice) makes such a uninformed comment. Possibly Ely and others like her need to read more and learn more and if possible travel more to see what Puerto Rico is really about. You will be surprise and will have a change of heart. |
| Posted by: Worried (not registered) on February 01, 2006 at 04:51 am | | In April of 2005, I contacted police to find out how to identify local convicted predators, they told me by Federal Law the website needed to be done by May 05, it's not Feb 06 and where is it? A blank page , is this it?I know a creep when I see one, but what am I suppose to do, make a citizens arrest? |
| Posted by: Puertorican (not registered) on February 05, 2006 at 06:35 pm | | Ely does not know what she is talking about. If you don't know about puerto rico don't talk about it. So Ely get your facts stright. |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on February 06, 2006 at 10:14 am | | People like Ely who spread their ignorant beliefs about things they know little of should really consider their ignorance as a plague that should be contained in their tiny little minds. |
| Posted by: Concerned (not registered) on February 10, 2006 at 10:58 pm | | I agree that it is a shame that Puetro Rico does not have a sex offender registry. What I do not agree with is why attack the island of Puerto Rico and it's people. Instead of spitting out hateful and stupid comments why don't you unite your voice to millions of others that may want to see a Registry be established in the beautiful island that is Puetro Rico. Beautiful people and last time I checked we were not considered a parasite. Read a history book and check the facts out so the next time you have some facts to back up your mouths. |
| Posted by: Fassha (not registered) on February 15, 2006 at 10:45 am | | Oh yea... PR is such a parasite of the US... little known fact ...more Puertorrican's men and women has served and die on all US wars since the 1900 per capita than any other state...Parasites that pay with blood... |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on February 15, 2006 at 12:33 pm | | Its sad politicians are arrested left and right here in Puerto Rico. What`s sadder still is the fact no ones doing anything to make this beautiful island safer. Pointing fingers and not really doing anything is why recongnized criminals are just hanging out non chalantly because they know nothing is going to happened to them |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on February 16, 2006 at 08:21 pm | | Here is a fact for ignorant Ely. The aid that Puerto Rico receives from the US is peanuts in comparison to what the US receives in return from Puerto Rico. With all the pharmaceuticals and other US businesses that are establishes and flurishing here we are like a little cash machine for the US. What the US gives they receive back from Puerto Rico 3 times over. Besides I would be so quick to insult PR when the US economy is going straight down the toilet. Besides what does your comment have to do with this site anyway. What is important is finding out what we can do to make sure the govt in PR gets this registry up and running with an actual list of offenders.

| Posted by: expat (not registered) on April 18, 2006 at 08:11 am | | Well, where to start? Puerto Rico needs a sex offender register. What area, territory, commonwealth, state, possession, or country does not? As to the status of Puerto Rico, it is a commonwealth and as such the US citizens (all Puerto Ricans) do not pay Federal Tax but do pay Federal unemployment, disability, Social Security etc. In addition, law 936 for many years was tantamount to Puerto Rico tax corporate welfare for US corporations doing business in puerto Rico.... these businesses DO pay Federal taxes in their headquarter states. Corporations in Puerto Rico have the highest productivity rate per employee compared to ANYWHERE in the world. In addition, there is the strategic value of the US presence in the Caribbean with respect to the war on drugs.
Please remember, hate, ignorance and prejuduce serve no purpose whatsoever. What we ALL need is more tolerance, education and understanding. |
| Posted by: ANONYMous (not registered) on April 24, 2006 at 04:58 pm | | I have reason to believe that a member of my family is unfortunately a sex offender. I would like to see if that person has ever been arrested for a sex crime in Puerto Rico, if they are registered as a sex offender in Puerto Rico. I need to know this in order to protect this person from possibly harming my kids. If there is no ONLINE registry, is there a place I can write to with the person's name and town to see if that person is registered as a sex offender on the island? I find the comments by Ely to be very stupid and misinformed and an obvious distraction from the actual topic of the site. I would like to step out of Ely's "race war" and focus on a more realistic issue which is what people like myself can do to protect their families from sexual predators. I note that many sex offenders from the U.S. who are NOT of Puerto Rican descent go to Puerto Rico and other countries in order to escape the law because they know things operate a little differently on the island and that it may be hard for law enforcement officials to find them or extradite them back to the U.S. Mainland. In which case the only "parasites" are those non-Puerto Rican American citizens who use Puerto Rico as a shield from the law and who victimize children on our beautiful island (which by the way is more like a major city of the U.S. than it is like a third world country, if Ely had ever been there he or she would have seen that).
Thank you. |
| Posted by: Anonimo PR (not registered) on May 04, 2006 at 01:07 pm | | The problem with Puerto Rico is that everything turns into an sterile political issue.
This mentality which includes the press and religious organizations has helped to cover up the sexual predators and although this past year 6 catholic priests were accussed of sexual abuse the press did not do any investigative journalism nor the government entities did any work.
The only people that work hard were the district attorneys but they were working alone.
As long as everything in PR is connected to its politics, status and corruption in all the branches of government we will never progress. |
| Posted by: michi (not registered) on June 25, 2006 at 03:10 pm | | i think eli should do some research on puerto rico....then she should be able to talk a bit more about 'la isla del encanto'....but what can you expect from someone with no education what so ever....
but yes we do need to get this web site started because we all should have the right to be safe....
eli don't bash on other countries start by bashing your own and look at own inperfections before talking about others....wherever you live must alot inperfections aswell so go talk about them not about my country.....read some history books maybe you can learn something if it fits in your tiny brain |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on July 24, 2006 at 09:52 pm | | Ely, It is shame that your knowledge on the history of Puerto Rico is so limited or nule .I truly invite youas others have to READ and RESEARCH before making such unfounded comments. I invite you to come visit us some time and see that the Tainos no longer walk around naked or in "tapa rabos" and we have Burger Kings and Wendy's. And yes I do believe we should have Sex Offenders Registry but don't throw dirt on the good people of this island. By the way yesterday a fitfh Puerto Rican beauty was crowned the most beautiful woman of the planet. |
| Posted by: Concerned (not registered) on August 10, 2006 at 10:01 am | | Puerto Rico is one of the most beautiful places in the world. I am extremely saddened that sexual predators are not listed. My family and I are experiencing a terrible situation right now. due to the fact the authorities in Puerto Rico do not closely watch these parasites on society. Parole officers need to keep closer tabs on these criminals. Puerto Rico means the world to me but right now I have no faith in their legal system. |
| Posted by: SHEILA (not registered) on August 16, 2006 at 11:30 pm | | FYI!!! Puerto Rico does have a sex offender registry. This is the site: http://sijc.gobierno.pr/CJISPortal/SexualOffenders/

| Posted by: dave (not registered) on September 26, 2006 at 05:13 pm | | The website given before states that it is the sex offender website for P.R. but there is nothing there. You click on the link and get a page of conditions to accept. Accept those conditions and it just re-opens the same page. Maybe something is coming or the system is down but as of now the link leads nowhere. |
| Posted by: Caimito (not registered) on October 03, 2006 at 06:33 pm | | Ely hit the nail right on the head. But Ely should know that it is a socialist society and there is no freedom of expression, especially the truth. Puerto Rico having the honor of being the fifth most violent place in the world, ensures that people don't speak out, to change it for the better. As the four million Puerto Ricans who live in the United States say " there is no hope for Puerto Rico, because the people are afraid (son pendejos) to stand up for what is right." |
| Posted by: Monica (not registered) on October 04, 2006 at 07:49 pm | | Dave, I suggest you try again, and after you accept the terms there's a page with blank spaces to fill in name, address, or whatever information you know about a suspect or just put in the town. I used it for Arecibo, and found out that I had been living close to 3 offenders. Even though I moved to Manati, my kids still go to the same school in that neighborhood. I showed them the pictures of the three offenders and told them to avoid this people and in case they were approched to "run like a bat out of hell" and look for help. I am glad we have this resource in the island. |
| Posted by: Puertorrique?a (not registered) on October 24, 2006 at 11:35 am | | I agree that we need a list of offenders on line but apparently we also need to have a historical/political website to erradicate ignorance and prejudice against an island invaded and controlled by the United States since 1898. Anyway, this webpage SHOULD be about ways to protect our children from abusers not a posterboard for bigotry . |
| Posted by: Remax004 (not registered) on October 24, 2006 at 07:05 pm | | This is for Puertorrique?a - this webpage does help the public but the comments are generated from the visitors and reflects nothing on what links and information sexualoffenders.com provides. |

| Posted by: Myra (not registered) on October 31, 2006 at 01:22 pm | | What a moronic comment! We do have a site sponsored by the police with photos, addresses and vital information.
If Puerto Rico is such a parasite from the States, why the US goverment haven't get rid of us after 100 years of colonialism.
|
| Posted by: Ricardo Rivera (not registered) on October 31, 2006 at 02:49 pm | | rst of all in Puerto Rico things like a sex offender registry is not even needed... Because we in puerto rico have no crazy ass white people that go raping women and children OR shooting up schools OR being serial killers...! In the history of Puerto Rico there hasnt been a serial killer or serial rapist... So before you go talking shit (Ely) know something first... |
| Posted by: new yorican (not registered) on November 02, 2006 at 01:31 pm | | Ely is and uneducated, racist moron. If Puerto Rico is such a 3rd world country, why do our people go to war for the U.S. and die for the American way of life. PS. We didn't choose the U.S., the U.S. chose us. |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on November 11, 2006 at 12:55 pm | | I see that the website has a list of offenders, but does it tell you who has to register? When they have to register? Is it certain sex laws (misdemeanors, etc.) or all? |
| Posted by: Jenn (not registered) on November 11, 2006 at 07:31 pm | | Am livng in P.R .and thet me just tell you guys something this island sucks.People here are so close minded and as I called them personas que son "Mente de Pollos" . They only think about getting paid and drinking on the weekends. They are approxitmently 4 millione people living in puerto rico right and we spent in a year 800 millione dollares in alcochol so basically were just becoming parasites in movement Did you know that every 5 mintues a child is sexual molested in this island que es 100 x 35.
P.S Can wait to graduate so I can get the hell out here!!!!!!!!

| Posted by: Marron (not registered) on November 12, 2006 at 12:56 pm | | Puerto Rico is a territory not a colony. They have the right to vote for independence or statehood, a colony does not. The people always vote to remain a territory (Popular/commonwealth) because they don't want to be responsible for themselves. They do not trust themselves either, only 2 to 5% of the population want independence. The United States can not permit that such a tiny percent of the population dictate to the other 95%.
Another example of how Puerto Rico is a territory and not a colony is the fact that a colony supports the mother country. That is that all the goods and money go to the mother country without any self governing rights to the population. A territory is supported by the mother country (reverse of colony)with goods and money (billions in Puerto Ricos case) sent to the domain and is allowed to govern itself. Therefore Puerto Rico is a territory not a colony and remains as such because the people want it that way, they continuely vote to remain a territory (Commonwealth). |
| Posted by: david (not registered) on November 12, 2006 at 01:46 pm | | Ricardo Rivera should learn to express himself in a less violent and vulgar manner. If he had HIS facts straight he would know that Puerto Rico is the most violent place in the United States and the fifth most violent place in the WORLD. And this is the principal reason that 35% of the population leave the island yearly to live in the SAFER main land. |
| Posted by: Padilla (not registered) on November 15, 2006 at 05:27 pm | | There is a website where you can find sex offenders in Puerto Rico http://sijc.gobierno.pr/CJISPortal/SexualOffenders/search.aspx. I hope this helps you.
Please refrain from sarcastic comments against our Island, it is a beautiful Island and we should be proud to live here, and you guys in the continental US should be proud to have us as a property. That's why there's war and killings all over the world, please be polite. |
| Posted by: elena (not registered) on December 04, 2006 at 09:47 pm | | looking at the population in puerto rico, 3/4 of it is made of foreigner. i believe in pr we do not hold anyone against their will. so if you can not wait till graduate so you can leave the island. do us all a favor and leave. i can not imagine anywhere else you can go that is any different. |
| Posted by: Lorenzo (not registered) on December 07, 2006 at 06:23 pm | | Hi, this is the link to the site where you can find sex offenders in Puerto Rico. It is provided by the Puerto Rico Police Department.

| Posted by: anonymous (not registered) on December 18, 2006 at 05:23 pm | | Is visible to see the jelousy of certain people. Ely looks like is difficult to you to focus in a theme. What have to do a list of SEX offenders with the non related topics of Puerto Rco mentioned by you. You need anger management and spiritual direction. What is more embarrasment and/or foolish ? To be arrogant, disrespectful, hateful and ignorant or be or viceversa. A Spanish proverb said: that a person that judge others, do it because his own self condition. . . . DON'T WORRY I FORGIVE YOU BECAUSE I WORKED VOLUNTEER IN USA FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS IN ORDER THAT EVRYONE HAVE BETTER EDUCATION IN THIS COUNTRY. If I am in this country or I am part of it is because I respect the ideology of the Founders of this Country and not the bastard that came later on. By the way bastard is an adjective, that is used to describe: 1. a person that not have father; 2. a person that hates. With all my respect I am using the second meaning for you. Hey ! Doctor recomendation: Do something positive. God bless you. |
| Posted by: Tony (not registered) on December 18, 2006 at 10:04 pm | | You all are fueding over sex offender registries and some people's ignorance or hateful lives. The point is that The sex offender registries are tools to keep you people busy and to feel your kids are being protected. Smart politicians and shrewed media houses are only exploiting your emotions. There is no research to date that suggests that the sex offender registries protect anyone. 95% of kids are molested by their dads (or step dads), mother's boy friends, uncles, family friends, coaches, teachers and other close and trusted people. Your children are more in danger when they are in their bedrooms than from the strangers on the registries.
The only thing is that the stranger-inflicted cases are often sensationalized and the politicians and media fool people into believing that these cases that are less 5% of all sex offenses, are typical. As people become more educated about the facts, this hysteria will die down. Moreover, contrary to how the masses have been fooled, most sex offenders do not repeat their crimes compared with other offenders. If you doubt me, check US Bereau of Justice Statistics which says "Sex offenders were less likely than non-sex offenders to be rearrested for any offense –– 43 percent of sex offenders versus 68 percent of non-sex offenders. " Check it out on http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/crimoff.htm under Rescidivsm.
I can provide you with hundreds of study by the Government itself and many experts showing that this whole sex offender registration thing is just playing on people's emotions, but some citizens are too sophisticated to be fooled. Wake up fellows. I will like to be challenged and I'll bombard you with facts. |
| Posted by: Advice (not registered) on January 04, 2007 at 01:09 pm | | I have read many comments, defending Puerto Rico's present status. Puerto Rico is a Common Wealth and, as such has certain conditions that apply only to Puerto Rico. For those of you that say that certain people should become more educated, we all should learn more about this island's past, present and potential future. Puerto Rico was a strategic holding for the US (at one time). It provided an ideal location for a Naval base to protect the Mona passage (access to the Panama canal). It also provided unique training facilities for the Navy (vieques). Obviously, none of this applies anymore. The reason Pharmaceutical companies have flocked to PR is for their own economic benefit, no other reason (certain tax status exemptions). Puerto Rico is a strategic location for drug traffickers, unfortunately to much the benefit of the same traffickers. PR is a beautiful island, but is unfortunately fraught with problems such as extremely high violent crime, excessive public corruption, ineffective law enforcement, and excessive taxation by the government (for those who pay taxes). Puerto Ricans do not pay federal taxes. That's not to say that Puerto Ricans are not nice people, they are just exempt. The above are facts. As a matter of opinion, PR needs to either become a State, or become independent. Some argue that PR does produces a positive net worth for the US, I think you should check your facts: There are more public housing projects in PR that anywhere in the country (fact). The US taxpayers invest nearly 24 billion a year into the island (estimated). The fact that there is nothing on the sex offender page should really not surprise any of us, let's report this and get them to do something about it! |
| Posted by: puerto rican lover (not registered) on January 08, 2007 at 02:29 am | | I am a white woman, dating a wonderful, Puerto Rican man...And where I live in a small town...There are only 27 REGISTERED sex offenders, there are more who have NOT registered!!!!! I would NOT date a man here if my life depended on it, because you dont know if they are sex offenders, but mark my words, the majority are...I was very LUCKY to have met my man here, you sex offenders need to move away and leave our children alone, WHAT COMES AROUND GOES AROUND...remember that.. |
| Posted by: ANONYMOUS (not registered) on January 08, 2007 at 03:49 pm | | IT'S REALLY SHAMEFUL THAT PUERTO RICO GETS SO MUCH CRITISM, BEFORE YOU KNOW THE FACTS ABOUT OUR "ISLAND" WHY DON'T YOU COME AND VISIT US. CRIME IS EVERY WHERE IN THIS COUNTRY AND ALL OVER THE WORLD. SO WHY INSTEAD OF CRITIZING JUST BE BETTER CITIZINGS AND NOT JUDGE. THERE ARE WORSE PLACES THAN PR, SO WHY WE DONT JUST STOP JUDGING AND GET TOGETHER AND HELP ONE ANOTHER TO BECOME BETTER CITIZENS, AND BE THANKFUL AND PROUD OF WHERE WE CAME FROM AND OUR HERITAGE. WE CAN'T BE SO IGNORANT AND DISREGARD THESE ISSUES BUT, LOOK AROUND YOU AND THANK "GOD" FOR WHAT WE HAVE. STOP AND "LOOK" AROUND YOU! |
| Posted by: star 51 (not registered) on January 08, 2007 at 06:47 pm | | if people think puerto rico is a third country, they need to see other "republics" first, and then talk about our beautiful island of puerto rico. |
| Posted by: ANONYMOUS (not registered) on January 14, 2007 at 01:52 pm | | AS FOR THE COMMENT FOR JAN 4, 2007 (ADVISED) WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH DRUGS THEY ARE ALL OVER THE WORLD. MAYBE IS THAT YOU NEVER BEEN TO PR OR THAT YOU MUST BE FROM ANOTHER PLACE, BUT PLS TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THAT IN PR MANY PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE, ARE NOT EVEN PUERTO RICANS . WE CAN'T CHANGE THE WORLD THATS FOR SURE BUT WE COULD CHANGE ARE THOUGHTS AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE PUERTO RICANS ARE "US CITIZENS". AND LETS NOT FORGET, PR IS A BEAUTIFUL "ISLAND" BUT LIKE THE SAYING SAIDS "ONE BAD APPLE CAN'T SPOIL THE WHOLE BUNCH" WE MUST MAKE A BETTER PLACE AND STOP CRITIZING ALREADY. EVERYONE HAS ITS OWN OPINION, BUT LETS FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE ISLAND AND AND SEE WHAT A GREAT PLACE IT IS. "GOD BLESS AMERICA AND MAY GOD BLESS OUR ISLAND OF PUERTO RICO" |

| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on January 30, 2007 at 12:51 pm | | Just an outside comment. It seems to me like Puerto Rice is suffering from an image problem. I hear about high crime statistics and ask myself "would I take my family there on vaction". Therein lies the dilemma. The advertisments on TV show the beautiful beaches and extoll "Discover Puerto Rico". Also a+ that a vacation there is not going to break my bank. Yet in the back of my mind the elevated level of crime is an issue. Until Puerto Rico can break free of this image- real or imagined, the tourist industry there will continue to wither. Now if that is not an issue, ask the Virgin Islands, Dominican Republic, Ireland and the like how important tourism is to them. You can tell me day and night how beautiful the island is, how wonderful the people, but if I don't feel secure, I will not spend my money there. And yes, now I will get the counter arguement about the fact that no place is truly secure. And I would agree with that. However, there are a lot of vacation destinations more secure than Puerto Rico- and that is probably where we will go along with our $. I think until the perception changes that the people of Puerto Rico are united in their struggle against crime, until real progress in made and the crime statistics fall and this can be promoted and extolled to prospective tourists, the outlook for tourism revenue is bleak. |
| Posted by: ANONYMUOS (not registered) on February 06, 2007 at 08:02 pm | | This goes to the last comment, if you want to be safe then stay home. But one thing I will garanteed you is that even at home no one is safe. Maybe you should waste your money on your home putting gates on your windows and doors, and forget about vacationing. Honestly , PUERTO RICO is not THAT BAD. Go and visit the place and then come back and post your comment. ENJOY YOUR TRIP! |
| Posted by: NeverVistit PuertoRico (not registered) on February 20, 2007 at 11:03 am | | I have lived in PR for a few years and I Hate it . We're only here because we are building LOW INCOME housing for the Puerto Rican government. My husband is Puerto Rican, as well as my kids, and unfortunately, my children will never know their true culture because of the governments ignorence on this island. IT IS A SLUM HOLE COMPLETELY FULL OF GHETTOS, CRIME, DRUGS, DRUNKS, HOMELESS, METH-ADDICTS and POVERTY....ON EVERY CORNER...Not in just the"bad areas" And it is only getting worse. NO-ONE can deny this. If you ever actually lived in Puerto Rico, then you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. The saddest part is that my husband was born and raised on the island, and thinks it is so horrible, that he doesn't even want our children brought up here. We are leaving AS SOON as our contracts are ful-filled. Shouldn't that tell you something. IT IS FULL OF CRIME. More-so than anywhere else I have EVER lived in my whole life, literally! Anyone who denies it is lying and is blind, because if you have even LIVED in Puerto Rico, than you KNOW it is a slum hole... People snort coke in the public whil standing in lines!This is just from what I have experienced and seen with my own 2 eyes. Not to mention the public school system. I GUARANTEE that EVERYONE leaving comments saying how great Puerto Rico is, doesn't have their kids in a public school system,...do you? Unfortunately, the only ones who have their children in the public school systems are families that don't make enough money to put them in private institutions. Teachers sho up for work when they 'feel like it', and if they don;t show up, class is out for that day, and Kindergareteners are walkign busy streets ALONE! This is EXACTLY why we NEED a Puert Rico sex offender registry!
I appreciate everyones pride in their so called "Isla del encanto" but you all are only fooling yoursleves and in denial because you are letting your PRIDEget in the way...That's all it is. My husband would tell you the same...and HEs Puerto Rican..Stop making excuses for this slum hole of an island, and do something to make it a better place! |
| Posted by: NeverVistit PuertoRico (not registered) on February 20, 2007 at 11:05 am | | And by the way...MOST homes and neighborhoods HAVE bars on their doors and windows. It's pathetic that we have to live like caged animals just to keep all of the other scum out. |

Thank you for proving my point! Unfortunately, You are full of hatred, and have a horrible attitide that must be embarrasing for you. You should try to relax more, you will be a much happier person :)
You said you grew up in a public school system right? Interesting, because you should understand EXACTLY what I mean by the public school system, and MANY more of the PR public angencies. If you have kids, I guarantee you don't have them in the PR public school system. I never said the ones who come from the public school system are any less than those who don't. I am simply stating how horrible the system is to the children. TEACHERS DONT SHOW UP FOR CLASS MANY TIMES WITH NO FORM OF REPRIMAND (AND FUUL PAY MIND YOU), AND CHILDREN ARE LEFT TO WALK THE STREETS!!!! THEY BECOME PREY FOR SEXUAL OFFENDERS!!! Amazing how you must think this is OK.
You people should stop defending things that need to be changed for the better, and even more-so if you're Puerto Rican and want to be proud of your island! Stop your immature attacks, and PLEASE start writing letters to the government to have things changed! Make petitions and demand better things for our children and safety! Puerto Rico needs it! It's people like you who have too much pride, and don't want to admit and face the FACTS of how messed up this island is. PLease, OPEN YOUR EYES, and let's do what we can to make our homes a safer place for our children! |

| Posted by: NeverVisitPuertoRico (not registered) on April 22, 2007 at 08:03 am | | The registry needs to be updated ASAP! Names aren't very good without pictures, and about half of the registry is missing photos! What can we do about this? I want to be able to VISUALLY IDENTIFY who the sexual offenders are in my area. I want to post their pictures around the neighborhoods, schools and post offices to get more awareness out there to our families and children. Any ideas how to get the registry to be more strict and attach photos to the names? |
| Posted by: khansgod01 on April 22, 2007 at 02:37 pm |  | NeverVisitPuertoRico, You really want change? If your a parent, then do THAT!! To many times people leave it up to Uncle Sam to baby sit FOR them. If parents were more involved and taught their children the right things about life, you would be very surprised as to how much better things would be. |

A lot of people need to get their facts straight before the post a comment on a site if you dont know what you talking about dont make comments that could hurt people just because we are not from united states doesnt mean we dont have feelings And yeah maybe Puerto Rico has been living of the money of United States for years but also United States has used our land Viequez to practice with bombs and all that. Im not saying that United States is wrong but I am saying that before people talk and make hateful and hurtfull comments they should get their info and facts straight. |

NOT LIKE A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE LIVE AND VISIT, SO DO NOT LET THAT BOTHER YOU, SOME PEOPLE THAT SAY THAT DO NOT MEAN THE WAY YOUR TAKING IT. TAMMY (HEXGIRL) |
| Posted by: me (not registered) on April 29, 2007 at 06:50 pm | | It's sad to know that PR has no information on sex-offenders. An effect of being a miserable colony is that all this important issues are way at end of list of priorities. The most important thing in Puerto Rico is to exploit people so that his governor can wear luxurious suits and give contracts to his closest friends. |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on April 30, 2007 at 04:58 pm | | Good point Ramundo. The murder rate over in Puerto Rico is one of the highest per capita. That would be a great thing to get going! |

| Posted by: ResponseToEli (not registered) on May 22, 2007 at 09:18 pm | | I must aslo say that Eli is pretty naive to the island. As bad as PR is, and as mush as I don't like living here in PR, I must say that PR is not a "3rd world country". If the government could straighten up their act and start thinking about the people first, rather than themselves, PR has a pretty good potential of becoming a better and safer environment. The main problem is that the government is too intimadating, and a majority of the people in PR depend on the government for some sort of assistance, which in return makes them afraid to make any changes. I just wish the Puerto ricans on here would stop wasting their energy on bashing the naive people from the states or from wherever they come from and take their pride and energy out on the government. 1 person can make a difference! |
| Posted by: FACTS (not registered) on May 22, 2007 at 09:30 pm | | If you asked anyone in Puerto Rico what the No. 1 problem on the island is, they more than likely would respond without hesitation, crime. The fact is more murders occur in Puerto Rico than anywhere in the mainland U.S., according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Once again, Puerto Rico–with a population of 4 million–ended the year with an alarming homicide rate, higher than the three-largest cities in the mainland U.S. With 790 murders reported during 2004, the island had a higher murder rate than New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago.
Puerto Rico’s mean homicide rate is three times that of the total U.S. mainland and four times that of Europe. More than 60% of homicides on the island are linked to drug trafficking although sources within the Puerto Rico Police Department say the percentage may be as high as 75%.
Issues such as urban sprawl, underperforming schools, guns, and youth violence, the lack of affordable housing, and overwhelmed parents coping with the demands of work and family are contributing to the decline in the quality of life in Puerto Rico.
Now: Is PR all that it is cracked up to be?
cited from:
http://www.jrrobertssecurity.com/security-news/security-crime-news0020.htm |
| Posted by: FACTS (not registered) on May 22, 2007 at 10:29 pm | | FACT: Puerto Rico has one of the lowest economy growth rates in the world now.
FACT: Industries are moving out, and even Dominican Republic is #1 now in tourims revenues and visitors in the caribbean (a position Puerto Rico had for almost 5 decades)
FACT: More than 60% of the people in PR recieve some form of welfare
Puerto Ricans living in PR are becoming more dependant on the government and less productive. And you all actually wonder why so many people believe PR is a 3rd world country and think poorly of the island. It no longer has much to offer anyone or the U.S. Face it people, tourism is not what it used to be in PR mainly becasue the word is being spread about how bad it really is. |
| Posted by: NorteAmericana (not registered) on May 23, 2007 at 05:22 am | | To the second comment from "PuertoRican"...You're a Puerto Rican and don't even know your own history! The main reason the US hasn't given Puerto Rico it's independence is due to the votes on the plebicide. Every time they hold a plebicide, only 4% of the voters which are ALL Puerto Rican, (since they are the only ones allowed to vote on this bill) vote for independence. The rest of the votes are divided into 2 groups of people, half claiming they want state hood, and half claiming they want to remain commonwealth. This has been going on for many years, and the results are always the same. Neither government can make a reasonable decision when 2 groups are so closely divided.
Friendly tip from a North American: The bill is being resubmitted this year. IF you want to do something about it, how about vote this time around. Since most of you probably don't know what a 'plebicide' is, it would be a good idea to do some research, and really let your voice be heard in the right places, rather than make fun of the North Americans who seem to know more about your own history then you do!

IF PUERTO RICO IS SO GREAT, WHY DO THOUSANDS OF PUERTO RICANS FLOCK TO THE US EVERY YEAR? NOT TO MENTION THE MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION IN THE US THAT LIVE OFF WELFARE ARE HISPANIC, HIGH PERCENTAGE BEING PARTICULARILY PUERTO RICAN. I COULD BOMBARD MANY OF YOU PUERTO RICANS WITH FACTS OF WHY, BUT I DONT NEED TO GET IN TO THAT. MANY PEOPLE ALREADY PROVED MY POINT, MAINLY BEING THE CRIME. NOTE: I SEE A STRONG PATTERN- THE ONES WHO ARE DEFENDNG PUERTO RICO, AND SAYING HOW "BEAUTIFUL" THE ISLAND IS, ARE ALL PUERTO RICAN. WELL, WAKE UP PEOPLE AND DONT BE FOOLED!! TAKE IT FROM SOMEONE WHO IS NOT PUERTO RICO AND HAS LIVED THERE FOR SOME YEARS, ...PUERTO RICO IS HORRIBLE AND I DONT RECCOMEND VACATIONING THERE OR HAVING YOUR CHILDREN RAISED THERE EITHER!!! ANOTHER REASON MANY PUERTO RICANS MOVE TO THE USA---ITS THE LAND OF OPPURTUNITY!!!!!!!!! MOST OF YOU PUERTO RICANS ON HERE ARE SO IGNORANT, AND WOULD RATHER DEFEND YOUR ISLAND RATHER THAN ADMIT TO HOW BAD IT IS AND TRY TO DO SOMETHING TO CHANGE IT!!!!!! THATS EXACTLY WHY PR IS ONLY GETTING WORSE!!! TURN ON YOUR NEWS CHANNEL EVERYDAY AND LISTEN TO THE GOVERNORS AND MAYORS OF PR! THEY ADMIT TO HOW BAD THE ECONOMY IS GETTING!!!! YOU PEOPLE HAVE TOO MUCH PRIDE AND ARE TOO STUBBORN TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I GUESS ITS TOO EASY FOR PUERTO RICANS TO LIVE OFF THE U.S. FUNDS TO WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THEIR ISLAND. THATS WHY THE ISLAND IS SO NASTY. ITS MOSTLY LAZY POOR GHETTO PEOPLE WHO TAKE THE EASY WAY OUT AND LIVE OFF THE US WELFARE, AND DEAL DRUGS ON THE SIDE-HENCE THE CRIME-
TAKE THIS ADVICE FROM SOMEONE WHO HAD LIVED IN PR FOR YEARS. NOW YOU ALL KNOW WHY I DONT WANT TO LIVE THERE!! |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on June 04, 2007 at 12:01 am | | I am Puerto Rican and love my island, but it's true, people can't live there anymore.My brother visited just recently and I asked him if he liked it, he said yes, but not to live. He saw alot of homeless people asking for money in every corner and the roads , as usual, full of holes.I went last christmas and the one before and the airport smelled horrible.On the good side= CHRISTMAS is always better over there than here in the US , the people are friendly , the malls are just like in the US , we have the biggest stadium in the caribean and old san juan is beautiful.It's a shame that the crime rate is so high because PR has lots of good potential.We need people that want to work instead of partying so much and a government who actually wants to help people. I , as a young parent, can't raise my daughter in PR , but would love to.I pray that things change for the better also knowing that the people I know and love c an once again be proud of being BORICUAS . Please don't take this as an insult because I understand there's lots of great people in the island including my friends and family. We just need to raise our voices!! |

| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on June 16, 2007 at 01:02 pm | | Puerto Rico is a US protectorate, not a parasite. It is its own country, with its own culture. Just because they have no registry does not make them third world. Do you have the stats on how many people here in the US are on public assistance? Do you know why they are? Do you know the percentage of people on assistance both in the US and PR who qualify as the working poor? And do you know why? Turn your eyes toward our government who consistently work toward the welfare of the upper 1 percent and ignore the rest. How dare you make such derogatroy comments when it is obviously difficult for you to walk upright like the rest of us, let alone put a sentence together. Are you writing from a computer at the library, or did mommy let you use hers? Try educating yourself before you open your mouth. Also, can you tell me how long it's been since registries showed up in the US?? Don't know do ya? |

| Posted by: Born in NY but living in PR (not registered) on June 18, 2007 at 02:17 pm | | How can somebody be so ignorant as to believe that the US really gives to PR more then what it receives. That very funny. NO county,state,republic....OR even PERSON gives with out receiving. Yes americans invest in pr. WHY because PR is an excellente invest oportunity. An dnoi we didn't pay taxes....supposely but to the guy who mentioned the law exempting Pr from paying federal taxes I suggest you read it ...ALL OF IT....even that very tiny writting at the bottom and you'll be suprised. and for those who said that PR isn't a colony...look up the defintion of the word and you'll realize that puerto rico is a colony. Finally I most say if you haven't been to pr don't talk because there are good and bad things associated with all counties..or colonies.
EXAMPLE: puerto rico and its high crime rate
EXAMPLE: usa and the war in iraq........????????
but above it all......if you haven't visted PR your missing out on its beautiful beaches said to be some of the most baeutiful in the war,wonderful food, nice friendly people, culture, ecological sites,history etc. and none of that was giving to us by the USA. |
| Posted by: Gerardo (not registered) on June 19, 2007 at 04:31 am | | Puerto Rico is not a third world country, but its very close to been a third world country. The government is one of the principal job providers which is not good. Public services like education, health services, roads are deficient and our primary attractive like beaches are not well preserved. Taxes are extremly high for the middle-high salararied workforce and we receive almost nothing back from the government, low income salaried employees pay a small amount of taxes and the self-employed beat the system and pay little or no taxes and the government does very, very little to prosecute or go after them. Politics act in their own personal
best interest. Federal funds are missused. This is the picture of an almost third world country. Regarding a registry of sex offenders I will check the site mentioned above but more aggresive jail terms should be impossed, but because of the overcrowed jails they are released after a deficient evaluation. Also, and I know this is not the issue, but death penalty should be approved for hard core criminals. Politics say that this is not "our way" but that's only to portray an image of god fearing people which is a lot of crap. If the government starts programs to train people (and not be afraid to lose fed funds), and concentrate on the basics which are health, protection, education, justice system, infra-structure, natural resources and tourism things would start getting better. Puertorricans are friendly but sometimes we think we deserve everything. We have to work for it. |

| Posted by: been there done that (not registered) on July 06, 2007 at 01:22 pm | | I have to travel back and forth to Puerto Rico for business, and I must say that I dread it everythime. The company puts me in a hotel on Dorado Beach, but everytime I leave the resort, I am in a crime infested paradise. I have had many problems already ranging from witnessing a robbery to being mugged. Not a fun place to be, and Ive traveled many places and experienced many other countries. Its a shame that the criminals have taken over that island and make it so horendous to foreigners. What good is the registry if half of the registered sex offenders are without pictures. That should be uncalled for! |

For all of you that are looking for a registry on sexual offenders in Puerto Rico. go to the above website. Have zipcodes and City/Town names ready, stroll down, klick below on the States list, then on PR and you will get there.
It takes patience, but the rapsheet with all the information on the person will appear.
We all want to stay safe! Good luck! let me know if it worked |

So, do you think the US aint getting nothing in exchange from Puerto Rico? All our work and economic gain sadly ends up in the US. So if you think that Puerto Rico is a parasite, why the US doesnt avoid us? And also think about these... More than 5,000 of our people are fighting for the US in Iraqui soil. It happened in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Kosovo, Persian Gulf, etc... Should I continue? |

Govenment corruption is still rampant.....unemployment is high...... The murder rate is high.... If you take away federal assistance the island would collapse..... No sustainable industries..... Statehood might be an unattractive option.... |

| Posted by: Emilio (not registered) on July 26, 2007 at 04:08 pm | | To "Never live in PR" All I can say is that I feel so sorry for you. I lived in Puerto Rico for 16 years and I have never in my life seen anyone using cocaine in public or anything like it. Yes, the Island is not a perfect paradise and there is crime and other things we are not proud of. But Please, give me a break, you make it sound like PR is the scum of the earth. It seems to me that the image that you have of PR is the one you see reflected in you husband. I don't know were is it that he has you living in, but my advise is that you have a conversation with the cheap MF and tell him to get you out of the projects and into a decent neighborhood. Believe me, I came to the USA several years ago and I still have family and friends that live in PR. I travel to PR almost every year and I have never experience the nonesense that you are talking about. I agree that the public school system in PR is not the best, but education begins at home. I know many honest hard working people who attended public high schools in PR and are now Professionals in different areas and are assets to their communities. Please, educate your children, go out and discover the real PR and tell your husband that he will always be a Puerto Rican, even if he wants to deny it. Ask him what "La mancha del platano" means. He is marked for life! He is Puertorrican and he better be Proud of it. By the way, I was born in Cuba and raised in PR, and I am PROUD TO BE CONSIDERED A PUERTORRICAN!!! Do us a favor, get out of our Island! |
| Posted by: ANONYMOUS (not registered) on July 29, 2007 at 07:39 pm | | GREAT COMMENT EMILIO, YOU HIT RIGHT ON THE NAIL. KEEP UP YOUR GREAT THOUGHTS ABOUT 'OUR BEAUTIFUL ISLAND". THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT GREAT COMMENT, YOU GO BOY! |
| Posted by: me (not registered) on July 29, 2007 at 08:31 pm | | I don't think ONE person on here knows what a Sex Offender is verses a Child Molester. A Sex Offender could be "statutory rape", "sexual battery", "indecent exposure", etc., which has nothing to do with molesting children. You CAN'T put all these offenders in the same category!
Not every sex offender is lurking in the shadows for your child! Some are just a regular guy who was 19 years old once and had sex with his 16 year old girlfriend and got turned in by her mother. This guy has not attraction to children.
Sex offender registries give the public a false sense of security, nothing else. No one actually has time to memorize faces all over their cities and spot sex offenders. Your BIGGEST fears should be from people you already know. People who have never gotten caught and are still offending today while you are so FOCUSED on these registered guys.
Think about reality rather than these "good feeling" laws. Reality is child molesters have a 13.4% recitvism rate per the Dept of Justice. Is a Murderer, Chronic Burglar, Robber, Drug Dealer living next to you OK? I haven't seen any comments about that. |
| Posted by: Jose (not registered) on July 30, 2007 at 10:51 am | | To those defending sex offendors and Puerto Rico--Get a life- You are not going to get anywhere on this site being defensive--The fact of the matter is that we are all on here for a reason---to take any info possible to be more aware of our surroundings, and more aware of the people around us- Having a face is important because there will be times that you may have worry about a person that is hanging around you or children, and if this sex registry is one more tool to get helpful info on the people around us than we should be thanking God. There are places I have gone that these photos are hanging up on a wall too--pediatric offices- schools- daycare- health clinics. So it is important. There are people out there willing to spread the word--and faces. There should be nothing wrong with too much information!! Even more so to those of us living in Puerto Rico where the crime rate is so high! And to the comment from Emilio--The crime rate is high all around the island. I myself live in an exquisite area in San Juan and have seen horrible things that I hope no others will have to experience.. You name it, I've seen it- And you dont have to live in a "ghetto" to experience these things like you had said. Usually, Just taking a drive to the local panaderia or supermercado is enough to have seen some sort of crime . Maybe you are just trying to defend the place where you grew up. But take it from someone who has lived there for 30+ years. I don't know if you are defending the island or sex offenders, but either- way let me tell you something-- With an island that has such a high drug rate- there is bound to be more sexual violence--And with the murder rate as high as it is here in Puerto Rico (and continuously growing), sex related crimes are even more likely to happen. So I'm willing to take ANY information necessary to keep me and my family just that much safer. Because I refuse to move becasue of the scumbag 'GANGSTERS' that are taking over and polluting Puerto Rico. |
| Posted by: Oldtimer on July 30, 2007 at 12:50 pm |  | 13.4% is too high. Refer to gov. website: http://www.ojp.gov/bjs/crimoff.htm#recidivism
quote:On a given day in 1994 there were approximately 234,000 offenders convicted of rape or sexual assault under the care, custody, or control of corrections agencies; nearly 60% of these sex offenders are under conditional supervision in the community.
The median age of the victims of imprisoned sexual assaulters was less than 13 years old; the median age of rape victims was about 22 years.
An estimated 24% of those serving time for rape and 19% of those serving time for sexual assault had been on probation or parole at the time of the offense for which they were in State prison in 1991.
Of the 9,691 male sex offenders released from prisons in 15 States in 1994, 5.3% were rearrested for a new sex crime within 3 years of release.
Of released sex offenders who allegedly committed another sex crime, 40% perpetrated the new offense within a year or less from their prison discharge. end quote |

| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on August 01, 2007 at 01:09 am | | Franny- I'm curious, What language are you speaking? |
| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on August 07, 2007 at 12:05 am | | The national website for sex offenders is: http://www.nsopr.gov !!! and yes, it also includes Guam and Puerto Rico.
STOP the insults!
I am Puerto Rican (well actually half Spaniard and half Sicilian) and yet was raised in PR so I proudly claim to be Puerto Rican no matter where I was born.
I am also the product of the public education system which by the way made me who I am today. I am a LICENSED PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER in various states and PR and obtained my degree at one of the the best engineering universities in the world located on the west coast of PR (top 100 in the world) not the "watered down" version other universities offer. I also happen to have a Master's Degree in Architecture and am a Commissioned Officer in the U.S. Armed Forces. I've flown jets and as an engineer have helped in the reconstruction of the Gulf Coast states after hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
Before you decide to attack Puerto Ricans... please consider all the great contributions we've made to the U.S. and ask yourself why isn't Congress pushing the issue?
Well, it's simply economics. You see, it's true that Puerto Ricans don't pay Federal Taxes and that the Island gets about $6 billion per year 9not much more than Guam). However, if Puerto Rico did become a state, the federal aid would more than double and Puerto Rico would indeed receive over $15 Billion. Not even the added burden of paying Fed Taxes can close that gap of $9 Billion. Also, if PR became a state the vast majority of corporations which make the Federal coffers richer would loos their Tax Exemptions and flee leaving the newly instated state vacant and more dependent on Federal Aids. So you see it's all economics that Congress is well aware and I presume their attitude towards the issue of statehood is like the saying "LET SLEEPING DOGS LIE".

| Posted by: Anonymous (not registered) on August 07, 2007 at 12:06 am | | CONTINUES…
True, PR is not perfect and many things could be better. But there are many places in the continental U.S. that aren't perfect either - no need to mention names of some of the places I've had to station my family and children.
But there are a few positive points to consider:
- PR graduates more College Students per Capita, which explains why many U.S. corporations and government agencies scout the schools in PR.
- As part of the U.S. we bring over 500 years of rich history which like that of the U.S. is filled with conflict but also beautiful unraveling twists.
- Puerto Ricans are a real true mix of many. It was the first major port for those europeans coming to the New World. There one will find persons from basicallly every corner of the world. Like I said my parents where from two different peninsulas in the Mediterranean and came to live in PR - if you ask them they will tell you that they are Puerto Ricans although they arrived there in their mid twenties.
Puerto Ricans, like many others in the U.S. have served honorably in the U.S. Armed Forces. We deploy for extended periods, bleed the same color blood, and in the battleground become brothers. When you are away from your state/country your brother sits next to you in the field. He or she never mind if you are Puerto Rican. These brave ones only know you are am american just like they are.
PR is a beautiful island with dramatic beaches, cliffs, mountains, rivers, caves, and a rain forest which attract many tourists and those seeking the outdoors. Some even choose to stay. Sadly others become disappointed with the negative aspects and only focus on that.
To close I will say this. I'd still call myself Puerto Rican no matter where I had been born.
If you live there and things aren't quite what you'd expect try changing the perspective a bit, I'd encourage you to embrace the diversity and wealth that comes from heart. To Puerto Ricans God, Family, and Friends are always first. Perhaps if you let that sink in you might enjoy your stay a bit better or perhaps make it bearable until you can find the comforts you seek..
Take care. |
| Posted by: anonymous (not registered) on August 13, 2007 at 08:19 pm | | my dear friend elly needs to know that if you go to Puerto Rico all you can see is 98% white people, I mean tourists.That means that tourism is an important part of P.R. Economy.... |
| Posted by: nowonder (not registered) on August 14, 2007 at 09:30 pm | | I think the reason that many people think there isn't an online reigistry is because the link to this page specifically says "Puerto Rico does not maintain an online registry"..Someone should fix that.. See for yourself: in Google, type in 'sexual offenders Puerto Rico'...It's the first link!..And it says PR does not maintain an online registry---this is what's throwing people off! |
| Posted by: anonymous (not registered) on August 20, 2007 at 12:36 pm | | Hey Ely, you really should be more knowledgeable on Puerto Rico, the government and the people before you open your big fat trap!!!

| Posted by: boricua 100% (not registered) on August 21, 2007 at 03:06 pm | | ely i do not know whre you are from. u have to be shame of yourself.i am really sorry for u. instead of been writing stupid things here serch more. there is a web side where you can find sexul offenders in p.r. by city, comunity,even the house and the street that they live at. and right now in the senate they are trying to sing a law that you can post a sing in front of the house of a sexual offender if you find that you have one in your comunity. read and learn before you talk. |
| Posted by: 100% boricua (not registered) on August 21, 2007 at 03:23 pm | | Hi Eli. I want to ask u something. Where are u from. I think that u are from no were. Are u a native american indian. Because if not u are like any other person that go from any other place to get a "better life". maybe not u .Maybe u were born in the states,but ask youre relatives where are they from.If you are white you can be from Ingland,Portland,Europe. But not from the states. But remember this is your country and this is my country too. From California to N.Y city. So remember before ypu talk about any other place remember that everybody have offer something good to every place that have been. |

OK... Ely, I'm from NYC and find PR to be safer...3rd world? I think not. More technology and cell phones per capita than in US. Poor closeminded soul. I am NOT Puerto Rican by birth but I have lived here 20 years...by choice. So Darrolin, which soap operas do you watch? |
| Posted by: Jazmin (not registered) on August 25, 2007 at 12:59 pm | | Oh, Listen up Caimito, go back to school and study. Socialist Country? This is not CUBA buddy. Albeit the people are learning to protest if things do not go right, but that is a result of 60 years of the US dictating to PR what they should do and a couple of 100 years of other countries exploiting this beautiful Island. Believe me, the US does not want to loose this "Strategic" location. |
| Posted by: egyptian1123 (not registered) on August 26, 2007 at 01:13 pm | | i lived in puerto rico for 6 years and i think we should have a sex offender registry only because look at that cop that was sexual abusing so many kids and he is not the only one there are alot like him we have junior hiogh school girls here getting pregnant by older man who get in there head to think what they are doing is right puerto rico is a beautiful place to be but if the gov. we should keeps up what he is doing it will no longer be what it use to ely u really need to get your facts straight its true its not the people its just the gov. himself just like the united states what is bush doing for his country NOT A DAMN THING !!! judge on that....... |
| Posted by: Mitch (not registered) on August 26, 2007 at 10:18 pm | | To that comment a few above me, you are so wrong! You actually said that PR is 98% white people! Who are you trying to fool?! And honey, I think youre in the wrong section of this website..we're talking about Puerto Rico here. I lived in Puerto Rico for a while, and I was one of the few percent of the population of what do you call us,.."white" people. And yes you sure are right that tourism is an important part of PR, BUT that's all it is, i mean WAS good for. I guess you haven't been listening to the Governors speaches or reading El Nuevo Dia, have you? The tourism has died off tremendously, even Dominican Republic is ahead of Puerto Rico in tourism! Check the facts, they're there, and pick up your news paper every once in a while. It' amazing the information you will llearn!To the rest of you naive people: Puerto Rico is going under. And guess where they are all flocking to--The US!-Miami, New York, Orlando, Kissimmee, and with the increasing Latin population in these areas, guess what?..The crime rate increaed in these areas, and in return has drawn away development, becasue of the crime rated in the heavy Latin populated areas.
The government has made it virtually impossible for people to survive in PR even as middle class. I owned a souvinier shop in a tourist section, there and over the course of these past few years, sales have dropped dramatically, becasue of the less amount of tourists coming to the ports, as well as the decrease in cruise ships coming. The result? Business owners like myslef have been driven out of the island because the economy is so bad,--not to mention the crime! And I personally think that people have been more aware of the higher crime rates in Puerto Rico, than that of anywhere else in the US, just like "FACT" mentioned above. So they are chosing other places for tourism. El Yunque is nice, but there are other places like Central America that have becom increasingly popular that have gorgeous jungles and ancient ruins. And you better belive that I check these facts out and know what I am talking about. My business survives on tourism, and that is how I know this info. And that is why I am no longer in PR, the tourism industry just isnt what it used to be years ago. And that's just sad- |
| Posted by: Beth (not registered) on August 28, 2007 at 01:49 pm | | GUESS WHAT!!! We do have a sex offenders list you can look up!! For those that do NOT know what they are talking about, please don't post any comments. Do some research first. Puerto Rico is not a third world country JAJAJA. So for the lazy one's here is the web site http://sijc.gobierno.pr/CJISPortal/SexualOffenders/search.aspx it will take you there. You have to pick the town or just look at them all. So shut up if you do not know what you are saying!!! |
| Posted by: offended (not registered) on September 04, 2007 at 08:21 pm | | Hey check your history. Puerto Rico didn't want to be independent. There are so many welfare breeders down there in paradise. Why get a job when the government will support you. Or just go straight to NY and commit new crimes. I'm sure there are 5 or 6 good people but it's all the slackers that give quite the name. Maybe the US shouldn't be so worried about the Mexico border jumpers when they have all those legals in PR. You can keep it. And yeah, I've been there. San Juan looks like the South Bronx with Palm Trees. Clean that mess up. |
| Posted by: Boricua (not registered) on September 17, 2007 at 01:19 pm | | I am a proud puertorican women, raised in the island. I am a mother and I am a professional. My father and other family members have served this country and gone to war. From World War 2 to Iraq. There are many puertoricans like us. I am very offended by some of the postings in this site. These people are ignorant. There is good, bad, hardworking and lazy people in every race. I am sure that the only reason for these people to say these hateful and ignorant words is that they are LOOSERS themselves!!! |
| Posted by: None (not registered) on September 19, 2007 at 12:36 am | | To Ely, they have been nice to you. I wont. You are a retard to say that Puerto Rico is a parasite. When was the last time you read a book. You should read a news paper to start, and while your at it check the puertorican death count in Irak. I think that pays of any "federal aids" you mentioned. |
| Posted by: Boriqua (not registered) on September 22, 2007 at 01:49 pm | | My opinon is if someone committed a crime after serving their time they should be free. Do they do this to murderes or blue collar theives that steal your livelyhood running a stop sign beating a yellow light. all these people have broken the not to mention the ones that have skeletons in their closets. In God's eyes you are all just as bad. I believe that the Government should stop selling fear to the public. You see this in movies you see this in the papers in the news. And now there is no place for these people however they need live in peace because of trouble making individuals who beleieve all the propaganda These people can not feed there families keep a job and now the laws are so harsh they want to push them up against a wall. They are people too. I do beleive that there should be a tiered law not a grouping. People that are so self-rightous must be hiding somthing. Let's look at their family tree, in their closet, at their past. And let's decide what the law should do with them. Signed Boriqua. |
| Posted by: Oldtimer on September 23, 2007 at 03:43 pm | | So whats behind this, boriqua? (IMHO)This is a fun game for the government. Offenders who loose jobs and homes cannot afford a lawyer to fight in their own defense. Congressmen know that. Most likely they have stock in leg bracelet companies. If legislators can create an element of society to "hate", then society will have no time to catch the scum walking the halls of congress. In a recent lawyers forum, it was being discussed how these laws were purposely written in ways to avoid appearing as "punishemnt". Why? because you cannot be punished twice for the same crime. So to get away with this registry, they say it is to "make the public safe". That is a lie and legislators know it. Note: they just caught another Florida official being naughty...now they are getting caught by their own law! |

What's next HAWAI and ALASKA? Thank GOD for freedom of speech, go to CHINA, IRAN or some real Third world country, you will be hanged and/or shot for those comments.
