I just saw an illegal Puerto Rican server at a restaurant. As an American, do I have the right to call ICE to deport him back to his country?

AHH! Where does one even begin with this level of ignorance?

Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States. It is not a separate country. The President of Puerto Rico is the President of the United States. Puerto Rico has a governor, just like each State in the Union. It is the same for the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa.

They are all territories of the United States, and each elects a Governor and a representative who sits in the House of Representatives as a delegate for their territory. They do not have voting rights.

U.S. territories have non-voting representation in the U.S. House of Representatives but no representation in the Senate. This arrangement, which differs from that of the 50 states, means that citizens in these territories do not have full voting rights in federal elections.

So, where would you like ICE to deport this American citizen?


Thanks to all who have upvoted my answer. It is giving me hope that all is not lost and that we have people who are willing to research, learn, and become better, kinder, and more tolerant of the many people who have come to the US and have always helped us grow.

The US is unique in that we are a nation of immigrants. We are all descendants of people who came from other cultures, ethnocities, and brought new ideas and ways that have made this country grow. Thank you all.

It seems that a lot of people do not know how Quora works. Or, your cognitive thinking is lacking. Someone poses a question. Most get some type of answer. I answered the OP question. I DID NOT POSE THE QUESTION. If you want to reply to the OP, click on the question and click answer.

Replying to my answer, as if I posed the question, is not getting to the OP the way you are hoping. It makes you look like you are attacking the responder to the question.

Please stop!
