they eliminated the Safe Third Country agreements with Central American countries.

they eliminated the Remain in Mexico policy as well.

they created an exception to the pandemic exclusionary order for minors.

We appreciate your willingness to serve, and like Senator Tuberville, coach, my father also was in the military.

Congress does not have the power to create a permanent union between Puerto Rico and the United States except by admitting Puerto Rico into statehood.

Puerto Rico is, and always has been, a U.S. territory, and Congress retains plenary power to govern the island.

Now that Puerto Ricans have publicly and officially asked for statehood, it is time for the United States officially to offer it.

Let's take the sword as once the young American Republic started to lead the free world.

The federal government systematically discriminate against American Citizens, not only on the island, but in all the five populated territories.

Only one of those options would guarantee U.S. citizenship: statehood.

There are two, and only two, real self-determination options for Puerto Rico: statehood and independence.

I am strongly inclined to Mr. Soto's and Miss Gonzalez-Colon's proposal, but it does trouble me...

The status convention offers a fourth option, or actually I would say a Pandora's Box of options.

It is great to be able to put those two processes side by side and to debate the merits of each one.

Puerto Ricans, American Citizens from the island, are still waiting for that promise to be fulfilled.

It is unclear why electing delegates to lifetime terms, to define what status options are available, is necessary.

If enacted, the Puerto Rico voters would need to ratify being admitted to the Union.

I sincerely hope that we can return to work in person soon.
