Luis Gutiérrez: “We will be looking at is the type of investments that they will be allowed to make.”

To turn around and tell voters to go back to the drawing board and re-define multiple other options which the majority has rejected three times in the last eight years in favor of statehood, would not only be insulting to us, but…

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.

So, don't let anyone tell you that statehood will somehow diminish our cultural pride and heritage.

The United States Congress, which imposes rules, out of our control, which make it impossible to get our act together.
