Take Five with Pedro Pierluisi

Heard on the Hill, Roll Call’s gossip blog, interviewed Resident Commissioner Pedro Pierluisi for their Take Five series. It’s a short piece having nothing to do with legislative work or current events, so it’s a nice distraction.

Q. What is one thing you would like your fellow members of Congress to know about Puerto Rico?

A.  People from all over the world live in America and you can be an American and yet also be very proud of your ethnic, racial, cultural, roots. That’s Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico’s what America’s becoming.
