You are using are the wrong kind of double quotes. Either you copied it from somewhere instead of typing it at the keyboard, or typed it in Microsoft Word or something.
Code:
$ file=“states”      # these are the wrong quotes
$ echo "$file"
“states”
$ file="states"      # these are the right quotes
$ echo "$file"
states
