Puerto Rico statehood is a proposal whereby the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico would become a state, with the rights in the Constitution guarranteed to it. This would give it voting power in the House of Representatives (currently it has none) and the right to elect two Senators. The statehood would allow Puerto Rican citizens presidential vote and also would increase tourism, and make the goverment a facilitator to develop the island instead of being a obstacle. Typically, Republicans are the ones sho support statehood for Puerto Rico. Most leftist, including most Puerto Rican democrats in the U.S. Congress, actually promotes independence for Puerto Rico, which Puerto Rico people would lose the American Citizen and turn Puerto Rico into a communist country.
In the last two referendums, in 2012 and 2017 respectively, the statehood option won by 61% in 2012, and in 2017 by 97%. However in both referendums, leftists claims that Puerto Rico can’t become a state, because the both referendums there was many blank votes. Alaska and Hawaii were both admitted a state with only 13% and 34% respectively of citizen voted.
