It will take at least a majority of the US House and Senate and the President to sign off on this, AFTER a vote has been taken in PR and a request submitted.
PR, don’t expect that anytime soon, dude.
Do we need Puerto Rexico as another money pit full of democrats?
After the 2012 referendum rejected statehood, Congress voted for the next referendum to be only two choices, independence or statehood, they would not have the choice of remaining as they are.
Cantor’s vote for Puerto Rican statehood was the reason I started agitating for his removal from office.
The Uniparty has already decided that they will be our 51st state.
First of all, Statehood over Commonwealth Status in PR would bring all kinds of economic problems. They are much better off under Commonwealth than Statehood and that is why Statehood always gets voted down. Secondly, if the Statehood referendum succeeded and they elected 2 Senators and 5 Representatives, just what party do you think they would belong to? BINGO-Democrat. That is reason enough to keep the status quo. That same reasoning is why Washington DC will never be given Statehood Status. The Dems. would just love to have the PR and DC votes in their column.
The Republican National Committee Platform supports Puerto Rico statehood

Don’t be so sure, with Lindsey Graham, John McCain and Paul Ryan in Congress.
Actually, why not?
As long as they declare English as their official language and don’t expect that any of their debts would be covered by Uncle Sugar, the more the merrier.
