Educationally relevant to this post, I recommend that people read How to Hide an Empire, subtitle: a History of the Greater United States (Daniel Immerwahr) and America for Americans, subtitle: a History of Xenophobia in the United States (Erika Lee).
Regarding the issue of immigration, I'm working on an article about a Biblical response to immigration. We must learn to show compassion as Jesus taught us, while helping in a practical way that makes a difference.
As Christians, following the teachings of Jesus to care for the "least of these," we need to educate ourselves on the realities of life in Puerto Rico and do as this author says: "advocate for the kind of reparative, emancipatory processes that actually repair the nations," and do this by supporting Puerto Rican leaders who know best what is needed.

Isn't that a biblical phrase? "the healing of the nations" I'll have to look it up.
