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.

It probably wouldn't get the votes needed from Congress though so they might need to wait a while.

If they last that long. People don't really vacation there anymore.

Yeah they need a complete image overhaul. Most people only think of crime ridden poor ghettos.

It is run by Democrats. Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit...

They fit like one of them round pegs!

Really the reason why many republicans would oppose their entry.

Yup, which would be wrong. By that same token, Puerto Rico should not suddenly want statehood because they cannot live within their means.

I hear you but they are our responsibility. If someone bombed them we would fuck them up.

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.

How does a territory become a state?

It doesn't. It becomes sad because it thought it could be.

What was the process for Hawaii? I assume it could follow that model?

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.
