The Puerto Ricans that were named only PARTIALLY represent Puerto Ricans. That is NOT what all Puerto Ricans look like. This type of mindset is what causes most Americans to believe that all Latinos are the same! There are MANY Black Latinos -- Puerto Ricans included.

Until that is decidedly unanimous, the US Congress will not take action on the issue. There is much controversy over the issue, but being brutally honest, the issue is racism/nationality and some Americans/whites do not want Puerto Ricans/latinos to have an equal say in the government as "ethnic" Americans/whites. The reason it is Americans/whites and Puerto Ricans/latinos is due to the fact that some are opposed based on racism and some are opposed based on national identity.
