Statehood for the United States Virgin Islands Over many years, the Virgin Islanders have been fighting for the right to vote for their president, but were denied this privilege many times. However, I believe statehood would be able to solve this situation.

Crime is a major problem in United States Virgin Islands (USVI). One cannot turn on the television or radio without hearing about another crime that was committed.

According to Burton’s Legal Thesaurus (2007), “Crime is a violation of a law in which there is injury to the public or a member of the public and a term in jail or prison, and/ or a…

I recollect as a youngster growing up on the resplendent island of St. Croix being an active member of my elementary school’s quadrille group. I was about ten years old.
