Puerto Rico...coming soon?
Opinions?
Thoughts?
My feeling is that I would welcome Puerto Rico but need to see perhaps a five-10 year period where they pay down their debt before admitting them. Sort of a probationary period with no bail out.

They've been a territory for a really long time, I think they're just broke.

Re: The 51st state
It probably wouldn't get the votes needed from Congress though so they might need to wait a while.

They fit like one of them round pegs!
Really the reason why many republicans would oppose their entry.

Re: The 51st state
Yup, which would be wrong. By that same token, Puerto Rico should not suddenly want statehood because they cannot live within their means.DAEBO wrote:There it is.Foo wrote:It is run by Democrats.

Puerto Rico can eat shit. They are a shit hole and are only doing it for U.S. taxes. That shit hole isn't worth ruining the flag for another star. Suck my dicks.

Re: The 51st state
What was the process for Hawaii? I assume it could follow that model?Jason wrote:It doesn't. It becomes sad because it thought it could be.
Re: The 51st state
Puerto Rican politicians highly suspect the voting was tampered with, too.
We don't need their drama. We've got enough of our own. Not to mention it will be the bluest state of all time. Puerto Rico can go and fuck themselves.
