“Puerto Rico: Desplazados Dos Veces, Sin Voz en Ningún Lugar”

“Puerto Rico: Desplazados Dos Veces, Sin Voz en Ningún Lugar”

La mayoría de la gente sabe que Puerto Rico no puede votar por el presidente de Estados Unidos. Saben que no tenemos representación con voto en el Congreso ni en el Senado.

Pero lo que muchos no entienden es que los puertorriqueños estamos doblemente privados de derechos.

En la isla, no podemos votar por el presidente ni por el Congreso. No hay representación. No hay voz.

Luego, muchos somos forzados a irnos— por la crisis económica, los huracanes, la austeridad y la inestabilidad— para sobrevivir y apoyar a nuestras familias desde Estados Unidos.

¿Y qué ocurre entonces?

Perdemos el derecho a votar sobre el futuro de Puerto Rico. No se nos permite votar en los plebiscitos de estatus.

Mientras tanto, otros hispanos que viven en Estados Unidos pueden votar en las elecciones de sus países de origen simplemente yendo a su embajada.

Esa es la ironía. Esa es la injusticia.

No estamos hablando de personas que nunca vivieron en Puerto Rico. Estamos hablando de puertorriqueños desplazados.

Golpeados una vez en la isla. Golpeados otra vez en el exilio.

Esto tiene que cambiar. Los puertorriqueños—vivan donde vivan— deben tener el derecho a votar por el estatus y el futuro de su país.
