Why is it that it is spelled Gonzales v. Williams if her name is really spelled "González"
That is a good question. When Hispanics and people from non-Anglo countries immigrated to the United States in the 19th Century, the immigration officials would post their names as they believed sounded in English. In other words many Gonzalez's became Gonzales' and Gomez's became Gomes and so on. That is why you have a so-called typo in Isabel's surname. Tony the Marine (talk) 03:45, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

Puerto Rican Draft WWI
Tony the Marine your source does not actually state PRs were extended citizenship for the purpose of drafting them, in fact it expressly claims that the draft was only extended to PR months later at a time when the draft was imposed on all Americans. My research heavily suggests that the assertion the US gave PRs citizenship to draft them into WWI lacks basis, originating as a claim by PR Nationalists opposed to the Jones Act but lacking substantiation. I was going to undo your edit but upon checking you page, in addition to having tremendous respect for you both as an individual (my Dad served in Vietnam 67-69) and as an editor who also seems like someone who may be an expert in this area and can provide greater insight.
