If you want to come into this country, legally, and become a citizen, you must demonstrate fluency in English. It is an important qualification for citizenship. If you cannot speak English, you cannot become a US citizen.
But now Puerto Rico is suggested for statehood and nobody in the country speaks English. If you speak English in Puerto Rico, what do you do? You get the heck out and move to the US where you don't even have to try to become a citizen because of some perversion of our constitution that allows Puerto Ricans to be considered citizens.
That's just nuts. And it further points up the absurdity of territory-hood in the US. We don't need or want our US "territories". Puerto Rico can take care of itself.
