In 1917, the U.S. Congress passed a law granting U.S. citizenship to Puerto Ricans. So what would it take for the island to become a state? Journalist Andrea González-Ramírez joins host Krys Boyd to discuss the political roadblocks to statehood, the option to become an independent nation, and the complex issues that face the future of the island.
