Eighteen months after
Hurricane Maria, Puerto Rico is still recovering from the devastation, but
disaster relief aid remains mired in political battles as Trump spreads
misinformation about the US’s assistance to the island. A new bill to give
Puerto Rico statehood could change that story. Rep. Darren Soto of Florida introduced H.R.1965 Puerto Rico Admission Act of 2019 to give full
rights and representation to over 3.2 million people in the US territory. He
joins me on the show today to talk all about it.

presidential candidates’ immigration policies.
