NPR correspondent Tom Gjelten on Monday shut down a caller asking for his opinion about vetting Puerto Rican migrants, noting “we don’t vet people that move … from one part of America to another.”
Noting his family “migrated from Norway” and “really [takes] pride in the migration and the family history,” the caller inquired:
“I would like to ask the guest what his opinion of the migration that is coming from Puerto Rico right now, due to their financial chaos. A thousand Puerto Ricans a week, not considered immigrants but coming to the United States as U.S. citizens with no vetting. And that just seems like something that’s not being discussed.”

Puerto Ricans are citizens.
The problem isn't with them coming to the states but who is showing up in Puerto Rico and then coming to the states.
