VOX: Puerto Ricans have voted in favor of statehood. Now it’s up to Congress.

In The New York Times, Christina D. Ponsa-Kraus, a professor at Columbia Law School wrote:

Time’s up on pondering the political and economic consequences of Puerto Rican statehood, let alone being opposed to it. It has been 122 years. You don’t annex a place, make it your colony for nearly a century and a quarter, and then reject its people’s vote for statehood. The time for Puerto Rican statehood is now.
