Fortuño: Puerto Ricans In U.S. Shouldn’t Have A Say On Statehood, But Congress Needs To Act

By Bryan Llenas, Fox News Latino

Puerto Ricans living in the U.S. should not be allowed to vote on the island’s potential change of status from U.S. commonwealth to the 51st state, the island’s former governor, Luis Fortuño, told Fox News Latino in an exclusive, wide-ranging interview in which he made it clear leaders in Washington have no excuses to take a final, definitive vote on the island’s future status.

“This is a state’s rights issue and at the end of the day Puerto Rico should follow states rules and laws in determining who votes where,” Fortuño said. “Normally, you vote in only one state or jurisdiction and that’s where you reside, so if you move to Florida you should vote in Florida not in Puerto Rico and vice versa.”
