Luis Gutiérrez: “This has a profound effect on housing equality and affordability for millions of families across the country.”

A majority of voters in Puerto Rico have requested statehood, now Congress must respond by officially offering it and allowing voters on the island to ratify their choice in a binding vote.

Congress must grant us the equal rights and equal responsibilities that we have earned with the blood of our veterans and the tears of their mothers, wives, children and families.

If you really believe in democracy, justice, government by the consent of the governed, you must not hesitate any further or give any more excuses.

The US citizens of Puerto Rico public must be heard!
