their perspectives into the debate – this bill did not receive one. Additionally, the bill lacks clarity and specificity on key issues for my constituents and their loved ones on the island including how U.S. citizenship would be defined under Sovereignty in Free Association, — PolitiTweet.org

but it must be done in an inclusive, thoughtful, and transparent manner. Puerto Ricans deserve a formal and accessible legislative hearing on a bill of such importance wherein members of the Puerto Rican community and interested stakeholders have an opportunity to contribute — PolitiTweet.org

the future for generations of Puerto Ricans living on the island and across the diaspora. We have an opportunity to rectify Puerto Rico’s long-standing colonial status, which has resulted in its people being treated as second-class citizens – — PolitiTweet.org

As a Member representing one of the largest and most vibrant Puerto Rican communities in the country, I do not take this decision lightly. The outcome from today’s committee markup, and eventually, votes in the full House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate will determine — PolitiTweet.org

Puerto Rico’s relationship with the U.S. is rooted in a history of racism, exploitation, and oppression. The time is now for the process of decolonization and self-determination on the island. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

The colonization of Puerto Rico is a shameful part of our country’s history. From the moment the U.S. took control of the island, to a century of limited citizenship, the imposition of PROMESA, and our failures in disaster response, — PolitiTweet.org

While today marks an important first step in the decolonization process of Puerto Rico, I could not in good faith support the passage of H.R. 8393, Puerto Rico Status Act in its current form. — PolitiTweet.org

I am glad to hear President Biden call this the #ClimateEmergency that it is. I look forward to seeing what further action he takes in the coming days and will do everything in my power to support his efforts. We need to address climate change for our children and grandchildren. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I met with incredible small business owners from across the Chicagoland area to discuss how we can help them at the federal level. These are trying times for many small business owners and it was great to hear from them first hand. Their voices are making a difference. https://t.co/qSYTXPjksi — PolitiTweet.org

Establecer una nueva fecha de registro no requiere una legislación compleja y permite que los residentes indocumentados se integren a una nación que algunos han llamado hogar durante décadas. Este cambio es un primer paso para arreglar nuestro disfuncional sistema de inmigración. https://t.co/SI8dCMb2HG — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

Setting a new registry date doesn’t require complex legislation and lets undocumented residents integrate into a nation that some have called home for decades. Making this change is a first step toward fixing our broken immigration system. #UpdateTheRegistry #3Amigos https://t.co/TjvaJAThDk — PolitiTweet.org

The IIJA makes great investments in transportation, but funding alone can’t fix decades of failed policy. Today I talked to @SecretaryPete about what more can be done by @USDOT under his leadership to help combat climate change, and the difficult challenges we face as a nation. https://t.co/qmgNv5WyTw — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

We are working on legislative solutions, but the time to act is NOW. Our children and grandchildren can’t wait for us to take action, and we can not just be bystanders, we need to address this crisis head on. Neighborhoods and communities like those I represent deserve better. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

THIS IS WHY we need to address the cumulative impacts of pollution and establish a way for communities to push back on permits for polluters— we need to take a look at cumulative effects rather than a one-off ad-hoc decision making process. The lives of our children are at stake. — PolitiTweet.org
