The people from Puerto Rico already decided they want to be permanently linked to the United States. There's nothing else to be said about that matter.

I have never felt like a second-class citizen. I consider myself a U.S. citizen. I appreciate and treasure my U.S. citizenship. I would never renounce or consider losing that citizenship. I want my children and their children to always have it.
