CBSN Originals' new documentary explores the divide over increasing economic inequality in Puerto Rico and whether or not statehood is the solution. In the midst of climate, economic, and political crises, Puerto Rico has lost nearly 12% of its population over the last decade, mostly to join the diaspora of nearly 6 million now living in the 50 states. Tax incentives meant to lure investments are causing some Puerto Ricans to fear that the island is turning into a fiscal paradise for wealthy outsiders, driving even more locals out. Many local administrations have pushed for a more prosperous Puerto Rico, but they often blame the territorial status for falling short. Is statehood, independence, or something else the solution? Watch Fighting for Paradise: Puerto Rico's Future, on CBSN, Paramount+, or by downloading the CBS News App. | |
