Senator Marco Rubio was in Orlando, Florida, honoring the brave “Borinqueneers” military unit, who were recently awarded the Congressional Medal of Gold.
After the event, Rubio address the local press on his thoughts about the event, and also took on some other pressing issues, including immigration reform and the ongoing war on terror.When Rubio was asked for his opinion on statehood for the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, Rubio reaffirmed that he believes that it is up to the people living in Puerto Rico to make that determination of becoming the 51st state in the Union.
Rubio says that the issue hasn’t received the attention it deserves, adding that the people of Puerto Rico (U.S. Citizens) should be afforded by the U.S. Congress, the opportunity to “pronounce themselves,” and choose from two options, not three.
