We have an opportunity to rectify Puerto Rico's long-standing colonial status which has resulted in its people being treated as second-class citizens.
So, don't let anyone tell you that statehood will somehow diminish our cultural pride and heritage.
What got me into politics was the fight for the independence of Puerto Rico.
This must also be taken together with the fact that Puerto Ricans have never favored independence.
