Primarily, public opinion of Puerto Ricans are not in agreement on the issue. At about 50/50, some want to remain independent and some want statehood. 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.
