Larry Seilhammer on Fox News Latino: Puerto Rico Statehood Is A Moral, Democratic And Economic Imperative

Posted by | Apr 16, 2014 | | 0 |

From the opinion piece:

By sabotaging the free and democratic decision of the electorate, the enemies of statehood in the island and in Washington have unilaterally decided to condemn the people of Puerto Rico to dire economic disadvantages.
