Only American citizens should be allowed to vote.
@DanWhitCongress @NikkiHaley In fact American citizens living in Puerto rico can’t vote.
@KSanthanam @DanWhitCongress @NikkiHaley But, when will the U.S. end its colonial practices and make its territories states: Puerto Rico, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa.
@KSanthanam @DanWhitCongress @NikkiHaley Thats because its a commonwealth not a State. Puerto Rico is also self governing, they do not follow US Federal Laws, they have their own rules there.
@KSanthanam @DanWhitCongress @NikkiHaley We offered them statehood several times and they voted against it. You cant have your cake and eat it to.
@KSanthanam @DanWhitCongress @NikkiHaley And that fact is unacceptable, along with the plight of DC. Our Revolution was fought over this. If anyone has a right to storm the capitol its DC and Puerto Rico residents.
@KSanthanam @DanWhitCongress @NikkiHaley They should be able to vote in general elections.
@KSanthanam @DanWhitCongress @NikkiHaley Yup...and there is something about DC not being able to vote for Federal reps too, isn't there
@KSanthanam @DanWhitCongress @NikkiHaley They can't vote by Constitutional limitations, because they reside in Puerto Rico, which isn't a state. If they were to move to other states, they could vote. Because they are citizens.
@KSanthanam @DanWhitCongress @NikkiHaley They don't pay federal taxes either.
@KSanthanam @DanWhitCongress @NikkiHaley True, that’s not how it should be.
