Since you were born in NY, you are an American citizen. Actually your parent who is from Puerto Rico is technically an American citizen since Puerto Rico is a US territory. You are not going to have to go anywhere.

Also Trump cannot just make people leave. That is not how our system works. If it were, many of those who came here illegally would already be gone. Quit listening to people who know nothing about our constitution.

Like i said in my question, I didn't believe it. Just that literally everyone was telling me so also that he's gonna start world war 3. They were rude to me for not believing. Thank you for you're answer!

Believe me Puerto Rico is and has been part of the USofA for a very long time (since the end of the Spanish American War). The worst that can happen is you get deported to New Jersey (LOL) (just a joke). People will say anything if they think they can rile you up or scare you. Fact, yesterday Puerto Rico elected its first Pro-Statehood Governor in a very long time. He ran on the promise that he would do everything in his power to insure Puerto Rico becomes our 51st state.

You may need to find friends that are a little better informed.  Just live your life. No ones sending anywhere.

Gator has a prefect answer for you! But for the solidness of the point i express my own statement!

This is very odd! Let me tell you like this! Even if this suppose to happen! It's like sending back an American citizen back to America! Puerto Rico  / U.S virgin islands / American Samoa / Northern Mariana Islands / Guam /  they are all U.S territories. You can not be sent anywhere! You are an American citizen! We have a tone of Puerto Ricans across the country! Jennifer Lopez being the most famous one. Check it out. She's called "American".

Also about sending people around or deporting. Of course he can influence using his executive power. But it's simply more complicated than it sounds! He is the president. He has power. But he's not alone. The country is not his. He doesn't make the decisions on his own.

Congress and Judicial branches plays a crucial role. For any law to pass 435 representatives and 100 senator must align their votes on the bill pass. Then Judicial branch, reviews the laws, explain the laws solve disagreements and make sure a law don't go against the constitution. It's no that easy to claim something and make it happen like a piece of cake. People love to create particular atmospheres and spreed news on their own or just blindly transfer what they have received.

Do not pay attention.

No, not at all.

Once you receive you papers and get that emblem to wear on your arm, you'll be allowed to move about freely in the newly designated unrestricted areas of the country.  (Think "dog park.")

And...I really hope I am just kidding about all this.

Got with Gator Blu on this---NOT me!
