Duh!
I very much would like our President / Congress to grant full independence to PR.
The last time I checked over 50% of population is on USA welfare.
Moron. The is no right to Statehood. The right to petition FOR Statehood exists, but it ain't no guarantee.
Sadly, it’s an problematic area to be sure.
You touched on one point. As I understand it the folks they love to vote Leftist too.
It would be a mistake to bring them on board.
I would like to see their lot improve, but it seems their leaders are as corrupt as our Leftists here.
Yes and the NAACP saw the light.. Federal money can only be spread so deep.
More recipients, less to each.
Oops.
Main reason is that it will mess up our flag.
It’s closer to 73%.
Footnote - Clinton killed the tax break for manufacturers in PR.
Scratch the surface, and Blacks and Hispanics do NOT like each other very much. Can’t stress that enough.
No it won't. There are lots of very good reasons to oppose PR statehood, but that isn't one of them.
51-star flag:
Alternate 51-star flags:
PR is Bernie’s free stuff army on steroids with a small percentage of people who actually work for a living. It’s a liberal’s dream constituency with a permanent government dependency class that doesn’t want to work to better themselves, but is content to live an welfare.
Interesting designs...
I wouldn’t have come up with two of them.
That seems to be the case. I’m no expert on Puerto Rico, but every time I get a glimpse of what is going on down there, it seems to fall in line with your description here.

Bingo.
Blacks used to be America’s so called “second class citizens”. Not any more. They’ve been bumped down to third class.
Hispanics have taken over the minority role here in the US, and have taken all the resources leaving less and less free (stuff) to blacks.
This being true - why? Why do blacks welcome and encourage illegal immigration?
The hexagonal one I can't stand.
Why don’t we make Israel our 51st state?
AA was supposed to go to blacks.
Now all the jobs are being divided between blacks and Hispanics.
And it's worse because as Hispanic populations increase, social service jobs go to people who speak spanish.
Hispanics are using blacks as their stepping stone and blacks are blind to what's going on.
Not only blind but actively encouraging it because they believe the black-brown coalition is going to take down the white man.
And bypass Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa?
