With 4,000,000 residents and another 3,000.000 Puerto Ricans who have become residents of other US States or of other countries it seems a logical progression. It becomes a hard sell not because they speak Spanish (many Americans do by choice), but because they have had 100 years to "become modern Americans" and instead have clung to the Spanish History and culture and to the dream of Independence.
If a referendum on their future status is not approved by a vast majority, then gaining passage of a Statehood Bill may be difficult for Congress to support.
It is their choice. Many are hoping that they will speak with a single and loud voice.
