Puerto Rico wants to become the 51st state of the US

I was under the impression New Jersey was already a state.

the democrats want this, because it would be a new state guaranteed to vote blue and permanently tip the balance in their favor even further

is what I was told years ago, no reason to doubt it

One would think they'd be looking to get off the Titanic, not on it.

Just imagine this is en español.

If Puerto Rico becomes a state it will easily be the largest welfare state per capita in the union.

I say a big fat NO to the idea of Puerto Rico becoming a state.

That actually makes a lot of sense - I was wondering why the President would be inviting a NEW state into the Union at this time when we can't even take care of the 50 we've got...

Isreal is the biggest drain on the union

will be a good thing. I think the US should continue to acquire territory.

Problem is it will be great for the democraps..

repubs might deny the vote though, will just further destroy the party losing more latinos.

I think my party is fucked...

Tend to agree...Israel is a big, expensive, mouthy problem...

How dare you say that you nazi anti-semite bigot?

Yep that's me. Hating some Jews. No, really, though. They're right in the middle of the Islamic world, with their finger on the button stirring up shit on a constantly escalating basis and wanting everyone else to come to the party. Complaining that they are always being picked on. No thank you.

'cho know man, don't fuck with 'ricans okay? OKAY?

Well, our rape rates and hub cap stealing rates would dramatically go up.

I support it. Either let them become independent or allow the statehood status, along with the rights and responsibility that come with that. Their tax rate would go way higher than what it is now.

Long term I'd rather control that territory and its people than let them become independent

It would mean more money poured into the cities for poor people without jobs, can the US afford to keep millions more with aide? it cant even help the the people in the east that are freezing

They want their Obama phones too!
