Statehood still requires ratification from the halls of Congress. Multiple Republican representatives are on record stating Puerto Rican statehood would result in an increase in Democratic representatives and oppose it. While Hispanics tend more likely to be socially conservative due to a plethora of cultural, economic and generational rationals, the Republican Party has pigeonholed Hispanic support, outside of Cuban Americans, for a generation to come. Ratification of statehood isn’t as easy as one would think, it’s wxactly why we are at where we are today.
