Many who live in New York and elsewhere on the mainland expector at least want to keep openthe option to return to Puerto Rico. Many have close relatives in Puerto Rico or have economic ties of one sort or another to Puerto Rico. The plebiscite legislation and the outcome of the plebiscite could affect them in many ways. such as taxation. limitations on immigration. difficult choices as to citizenship. and the like. depending on the outcome of the referendum and whether they remain on the mainland or return to Puerto Rico. The Interior Committee. faced with a difficult problem. in essence created an ad hoc political mechanism to be exercised in Puerto Rico to try to deal with this issue. I understand the problems the committee faced. and I respect the compromise that it struck.
