How is it a problem? As has been discussed here by people other than me Puerto Rico benefits from the current situation in ways that they would not if they were a state. Your representing this as a historic wrong that has been begging to be corrected. It isn't, and framing it as such is disingenuous. At least be honest about why you want it "fixed" now. I could at least respect the honesty.
I don't presume to know what the people in DC want aside from statehood - but the clamor isn't for absorption into Delaware so I assume they want to be their own state.
I'll be sure to let my friends who lived in Puerto Rico know that the reason I want statehood is completely tied up in one election and not a long standing history of being ignored as a territory by the government and that they can thank some faceless anon on a football message board who knows nothing about me, my past, or my current life for calling me out on it.
