It is significant, however, that the refusal to “quit” on Puerto Rico gave immediate rise to a counterrefusal: #YoSiMeQuito, which affirmed the right of Puerto Ricans to quitarse by migrating. In the face of criticism, López-Lay emphasized that quitarse does not mean migration but rather lack of commitment to Puerto Rico. Yet the new hashtag was partly responding to the widely perceived implication that those who move are undermining the national community. As journalist Rick Rojas (2017) reported, “Many who are leaving are professionals, students and other young people who would be essential to recovery…It has stirred questions about their bonds with the island and what responsibility they bear to help it heal. It has also spurred resentment among the people left behind with some viewing the departures with envy or even as a betrayal.”
