The majority of Puerto Ricans don’t want statehood. They have most of the rights of citizenship already.

They'll be too busy typing out insults that we're racist if we say that another state, one which would be for-sure Democratic, is the height of Idiocracy.

Why bring up this issue now? To make conservatives appear "racist"? Or is Dr. Carson really this dumb?

This subject has been talked about for decades. But I’ve never understood what benefit there is to the rest of us to make PR the 51st state.

And I never understand talk of Puerto Rico being a state, but never talk of the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa etc becoming states. What is so unique about Puerto Rico among American possessions that it deserves statehood???

Statehood for Taiwan!
Along with a US EEZ of two hundred miles!
What the heck.
