Puerto Rico- A US territory that deserves more rights

Puerto Rico, a US territory since 1898, still has little representation in congress. Their economy continues to suffer in recent years, with factors including massive debt, natural disasters, and the COVID-19 pandemic making life intolerable for most citizens. Some small changes can make life in Puerto Rico so much more enjoyable. With more political say and economic relief, this territory will have its natural beauty restored. Congress should make giving more rights and freedoms to Puerto Rico a top responsibility. America stands for freedom and equality, and should actually do something about this problem instead of just sitting around and waiting for the right timing.
