Puerto Rico has too long been caught up in legal purgatory. It is neither state nor country. The citizens of Puerto Rico should determine their territory’s future. All the people of Puerto Rico should have the opportunity to have a say in that future. Through a referendum vote, the people can choose to advance their territory into U.S. statehood, become a truly independent country, or keep Puerto Rico as an unincorporated territory of the United States.
