The US Congress introduced a bill under which an unincorporated organized territory of Puerto Rico will join the United States. The document is available on the Congress website. Residents of the island have long dreamed of becoming the 51st state, but because of the crisis in the Puerto Rican economy about reunification for a long time there was no question. Currently Puerto Ricans are citizens of the United States by birth, but they can not vote in the presidential election, and in Congress the territory is represented by only one deputy, and he has no voting right. In 2017, a referendum was held in Puerto Rico, in which the overwhelming majority of voters favored joining the United States.
