There is no room, there should be no room for partisan politics in dealing with this issue.
Puerto Ricans--and I am sure I speak here for the great majority of our people--are sick and tired of the condescending and cavalier attitude of the U.S. Government.
What should Congress do, then? It should simply declare its intention to put an end to colonial rule in Puerto Rico.
I hope this Committee, like the House before it, will show respect for the people of Puerto Rico by leveling with them about their real choices.
