puerto rico: I am fearing that Puerto Rico my families home land is about to be underwater in about 50 years. The government said that they are taking extreme measuring in trying to stop rising water in Puerto Rico by putting a wall around Puerto Rico. Is this even possible? If not can the united states allow all of them to settle there?|||The reason for constant floods during rain season and with the coasts is that the land is being dug up and mountains blown up to build malls, roads and hotels. The coasts are losing land because the sand of the beaches is being used by the miles to build new sky scrapers, hotels, homes and so on. As for the center of the island where floods are nothing new, tearing down trees, breaking down mountains and destroying other natural resources causes the water ways to change it's course and since the rivers and streams are dissapprearing and there is no where the water can flow freely, so it spreads and floods. This is a matter of stop digging out the sand on the beaches, and stop destroying the trees and mountains or in a few years Puerto Rico will be gone.|||I HOPE IT SINKS AND IM FROM P.R MYSELF ( AGUADILLA) I HATE THIS PLACE!!!!
