Since Hurricane Maria’s devastating strike to Puerto Rico in 2017, there has been renewed interest in granting statehood for the island. In the second edition of our podcast, Real Washington, we explore the arguments in favor of Puerto Rican statehood with former governor Pedro Rosselló and George Laws, the Interim Director of the Puerto Rico Federal Affairs Administration. Independent research has confirmed what most people suspected: that the U.S. federal government spent far more money and resources on Harvey and Irma, the hurricanes that hit the mainland, than on Maria. In addition to the issues of fairness and equity, there is also a compelling economic argument to make Puerto Rico the 51st state.

There’s a push on capitol hill to make Puerto Rico the 51st state. The bill introduced by congressman Darren Soto, a Democrat from Central Florida, has bipartisan support. But there’s pushback from some who say a statehood bill ignores the will of the residents of Puerto Rico. On this episode of Intersection we talk to Soto about why he thinks this path to statehood would be the best option for Puerto Rico. And we hear from Marcos Vilar, president and executive director of Alianza for progress, who says the bill is not the way to go.  Author Joanie Holzer Schirm says her father was a gifted storyteller. But the story of his escape from Nazi occupied Czechoslovakia had to wait until ...

On Thursday, Rep. Darren Soto (D-FL) led the introduction of the Puerto Rico Admission Act of 2019, a bill calling for Puerto Rico to become the 51st state of the Union. We spoke to him on Friday morning.

The language issue on Puerto Rico Statehood is pivotal and important. Unfortunately, most people, even in the island, have the language debate wrong. Puerto Ricans for the most part are proficient in English in one form or another. When polled, island residents consistently say they wish to dominate the language and wish more English is taught in public schools. The reason this doesn't happen is because the language issue has been taken hostage by the Pro-Commonwealth Popular Democratic Party. For decades, said party has sought to limit English in schools as a way to perpetuate the status quo. They also use the issue as a way to block Statehood, go to Congress and say ''Here, Puerto Ricans do not speak English and some don't even want to learn it.'' This is false. Mainland residents must be aware that what is going on in the US island territory goes much deeper than any one would have you believe.Music by: Apollo 440 ''Crazee Horse,'' Zwan ''Ride A Black Swan,'' Wise Guys ''Start the Commotion,'' Green Day ''American Idiot,'' and Pixies ''Isla de Encanta.''Enjoy and remember, support Puerto Rican Statehood.Be the change you want to see in Puerto Rico.
