The house approved to allow Puerto Ricans to change their status as a commonwealth to statehood. They rejected this idea three times in the past and the majority of Puerto Ricans are obviously against statehood. They are considered citizens but are not allowed to vote in presidential elections and they don't pay federal income tax on earnings made in the islands.
So, why is this issue springing up yet again? Puerto Rico doesn't need congressional approval to decide if they want to remain a commonwealth, become a state, or a sovereign nation.
Could it be because there are progressive activists in their political system that want statehood? If so this would bolster their cause. Puerto Rico would become the 51st state which would be mostly democratic and would allow their citizens to vote in presidential elections. Isn't that coincidental...
Sounds like some of our elected officials in Washington D.C. are thinking about the future. There is always an underlying reason for what the progressives in Washington are doing.
