It’s not that simple.

These are US citizens. Territorial status is a temporary condition, this whole concept of a ‘commonwealth’ has no constitutional bearing.

They have every right to a plebescite with two options: Independence or statehood. Unfortunately, this bill doesn’t offer anything of the sort.

I'd agree with that *if* the other 50 states had a say in it. It is a 2 way street.
