'''Puerto Rico statehood''' is a proposal whereby the U.S. territory of [[Puerto Rico]] would become a state, with the rights in the [[Constitution]] guarranteed to it. This would give it voting power in the [[House of Representatives]] (currently it has none) and the right to elect two [[Senators]].

The statehood would allow Puerto Rican citizens presidential vote and also would increase tourism, and make the goverment a facilitator to develop the island instead of being a obstacle. Typically, Republicans are the ones sho support statehood for Puerto Rico. Most leftist, including most Puerto Rican democrats in the [[U.S. Congress]], actually promotes independence for Puerto Rico, which Puerto Rico people would lose the American Citizen and turn Puerto Rico into a communist country.

In the last two referendums, in 2012 and 2017 respectively, the statehood option won by 61% in 2012, and in 2017 by 97%. However in both referendums, leftists claims that Puerto Rico can’t become a state, because the both referendums there was many blank votes. Alaska and Hawaii were both admitted a state with only 13% and 34% respectively of citizen voted.
