That's why we must respect Puerto Rico's vote and support H.R. 1522. Because only statehood will guarantee full and permanent equality for the 3.2 million Americans on the Island.
We have held a more than one referendum in which the majority of the people have voted, unequivocally for statehood.
statehood is one of the options, as my colleague, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, said very clearly.
Do not be deceived by the fact that only because we speak Spanish and we enjoy the freedoms of this United States, that the majority will immediately choose to be one way or the other; democrat or republican.
