I don’t think that you have to apologize, your experience is very much valid.

Then baby girl, why are you commenting on this article?

I loved this, all of it! Thanks, Michael!!

You do realize that while in PR they can’t vote. But the moment that they move to the mainland (which all they have to do is hop on an airplane from PR because they are US citizens) they are able to vote. So, they are in fact U.S. Citizens, they are in fact Americans, and they CAN actually vote.
