An apology is a justification or defense of something. However there are a lot of Puerto Ricans who right now would ask for an apology from anybody wanting Puerto Rico to become a state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor these Puerto Ricans statehood is a sell out of Puerto Rico. But since close to 50% of Puerto Ricans have voted for statehood, it is something that all Puerto Ricans should think about. If those wanting Puerto Rico to become a state were to be able to assure those who oppose it that they will not lose their language, culture and identity; that they have nothing to fear by becoming a state, then there may be a sufficient majority of Puerto Ricans to petition Congress for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf Puerto Rico becomes a state, the United States will have demonstrated to the world that the American experiment in liberty, freedom and democracy is still alive. But if Puerto Rico does not become a state and goes its own way, the United States will also gain because it will stop being the owner of the oldest remaining colony in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Independiente","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":11864834637867,"sku":"098w098","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2570\/9714\/products\/puerto-rico-paradise-in-limbo-carlos-e-beck-books-533.jpg?v=1599241406","url":"https:\/\/libreria-magica-puerto-rico.myshopify.com\/products\/puerto-rico-paradise-in-limbo-carlos-e-beck","provider":"Librería Mágica.pr","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
