Puerto Rico ping
Warning to San Juan: if you join, you can never leave. That is not a right you will have anymore. Ever.
If any of you try to discuss leaving, you will be called a “neo-confederate”.
If you actually try to leave, the president will invade and decimate your economy for decades.
What is it about Latino politicians that makes them always whine about how downtrodden they are. Pedro Pierluisi forgets to mention in his little bitch-fest that statehood has always been open for a vote but Puerto Ricans have rejected statehood in the past. The reason why Puerto Ricans cannot vote for president is because they chose not to be a state - end of story!
The grifters in the Puerto Rican government have always wanted to have their cake and eat it too. They have not pushed for statehood because they know that the pressure to reform Puerto Rican government would escalate immediately from the Feds and the Puerto Rican people.

Cut then loose. A republic and not an empire.
They might want to reconsider....as it is, only the activist are pushing for statehood....Basic Minimum Rate (per hour): $3.61 to $5.15. and (taxes) & (Hate taxes>)....Congressman Pedro R. Pierluisi is not telling his constituents the truth about becoming a state instead of the Territory they are. Huge taxes they have not ever had and a plethora of responsibilities they would face with state hood....or is this another "minority gets a pass" thingy.....
Once they ran the US Navy out of Vieques I changed my view of PR. Pretty island but they can’t have their cake and eat it too.
“We would like to be a state”
“No”
“Well at least we tried”
They have the best deal in the W. hemisphere!
Why ruin that to be the 51st hostage?
“If Puerto Rico does not desire to remain a territory, it can follow one of two paths. The territory can become a state or it can become a sovereign nation, either fully independent from the U.S. or with a compact of free association with the U.S. that either nation can terminate. If Puerto Rico becomes a nation, future generations of island residents would not be American citizens.”
Do us all a favor and become a nation. No hard feelings, just go your own way.
Do we really want to become a bilingual country like Canada?
The predominant language on Puerto Rico is Spanish.
hardly anything makes it to mainstream news if it’s not a message approved by Obamas admin
The only way WE should allow PR to become a state is if California is split into two states (the coast and south) (and the north and east): Thus gaining Democrats 1 and Republicans 1 State each.
We have MORE THAN ENOUGH Illegals...we don’t need any more.
