“If you’ve been living here for five to 10 years, then you should be given permanent residency, not U.S. citizenship. If you are born here then you are a U.S. citizen. If you’re from another country and moved here and lived here for a long time, then I think permanent residency is a good thing. If they want to gain U.S. citizenship, then from there they should go through the established citizenship process.”
-Francisco Deleon Guerrero
“I think it’s not fair. Just because someone is here five to 10 years, that doesn’t mean that they earned the right to have permanent residency of U.S. citizenship. Other factors should be taken into account, like if they have a relation to anyone born on the island.” -Austin Flores
“I think that the intentions are good, but lawmakers should really look more into the issue and that there should be a long and thorough process for this.”
-Arisha Nishimura
“I feel that the decision should just be left to the U.S. Congress.”
-Layo Muna
