Puerto Ricans back Statehood

[Glocktogo]

If you make PR a state, you run the risk of reviving FALN. The law of unintended consequences applies to PR statehood in more ways than one.

These folks can't speak English , their state is bankrupt and it's full of liberals.

Is this about PR or California?

Unfortunately we already made the mistake of letting California in so we are stuck with them.

Quote: "Because they have taken their economy into the tank and want the US tax payer to bail them out. Bottom line." Puerto Rico is near bankruptcy and that is the main reason they want statehood. Whether it is to be considered int he future is debatable but at present we can hardly keep our own economy afloat and we can't afford another "mouth to feed."
