hole, an enormous debt governor padillo called unpayable. >> having a presence alone is sending a message to the island that new york wants to lend its expertise and know what to do. a lot can be exchanged in these meetings. >> what we do after this, there's going to be a lot of conversations. everyone is going to put personality aside, the people of puerto rico who are 3.5 million americans need help. >> reporter: massive debt is one of many problems in puerto rico, a double-digit unemployment rate, escalating crime, and financial mismanagement all plague an economy that's shrinking, not growing. nelson torres, born in manhattan but now a hotel manager in san juan has watched so many young faces dessert the island in search of opportunity. >> people are leaving, absolutely. all the professionals that get their college degree, they don't have no jobs here so they have to go
