This is one dumb debate between Matthews and Wolfson, but I’m glad the record is set straight in the column that Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens.

In a way, though, this exchange makes the case for statehood and against “citizenship without representation”.

[Clemenza]

Yes, you are a US citizen, as are folks from Guam, the Virgin Islands, and American Samoa. Nevertheless, I don't see statehood happening in my lifetime (and I would like to see PR abolish the teaching of Spanish in public schools, and we know THAT WILL NEVER happen in anyone's lifetime). In other words, you will have to join many of your brothers in Orlando or New York if you want to make your vote count.

The PR primary should mean as much, if not less, than American Idol. It is a popularity contest participated in by deluded people, nothing more, nothing less.
