It would have to be phased in with perhaps a 5 year window. Residents would be given an option of choosing Puerto Rican citizenship or U.S. citizenship. They would have 5 years to decide. During the transition, the number of Puerto Ricans allowed to immigrate would decrease each of the succeeding 5 years. Anyway, that’s just a thought.
Either way, some transition period would likely be needed and the details would have to be figured out ahead of time. If there’s a better way than what I suggested, I’m open to listening.
Can’t do that, the US Congress has no authority to take an American’s citizenship, nor should it.
A naturalized citizen can only lose citizenship if they committed fraud to obtain it.
If you are born a US citizen, no power on Earth can take that away from you, unless you explicitly give it up.
Independence support in Puerto Rico runs at about 2-3%. A noisy 2-3%, but still a tiny minority. The division is and always has been between statehood and continued Commonwealth (territorial) status. They are Americans who do not want to leave the United States
People on this forum need to stop trying to carve off a piece of America.
“It would have to be phased in...”
Our rights under the Constitution are not “phased in.”
