- 1964, John F. Kennedy, 「Waves of Immigration-the Post-Revolutionary Forces」, 出自 A Nation of Immigrants‎^[1], Revised and Enlarged版, Harper & Row, →LCCN, →OCLC，頁號 63:
  Today many of our newcomers are from Mexico and Puerto Rico. We sometimes forget that Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens by birth and therefore cannot be considered immigrants. Nonetheless, they often receive the same discriminatory treatment and opprobrium that were faced by other waves of newcomers. The same things are said today of Puerto Ricans and Mexicans that were once said of Irish, Italians, Germans and Jews: 「They』ll never adjust; they can’t learn the language; they won’t be absorbed.」
  如今，我國的許多新公民來自墨西哥和波多黎各。我們有時會忘記，波多黎各人天生就是美國公民，因此不能被視為移民。儘管如此，他們與其他新移民浪潮一樣，經常受到歧視性待遇和責難。今天人們對波多黎各人和墨西哥人的評價與曾經對愛爾蘭人、意大利人、德國人和猶太人的評價相同：「他們永遠不會適應；他們學不會英語；他們無法融入美國社會」。
