[/quote] This is true I was there last year and was told by a few people that they don't want entitlements and the rest of the free stuff because it would ruin PR and destroy their children's future. The people I talked to were proud of that. Of course I'm sure there are others who want the freebies though. I thought PR was a nice place myself not a shithole. [/quote] I was there about 4 years ago, had a great time. Heard over and over how they paid no Federal income tax, but got monetary assistance from US. Let them dig themselves out. :s226: [/quote]

Puerto Rico’s government is banking on a push for statehood to solve the structural issues that led to its financial crisis.
Puerto Ricans will vote Sunday to decide the territory’s status.If statehood wins, as expected, the island will enact what’s known as the Tennessee Plan, an avenue to accession by which U.S. territories send a congressional delegation to demand to be seated in Washington.Puerto Rico will send two senators and five representatives, chosen by Gov. Ricardo Rosselló (D), later this year, once the plan is put into action.
