PR can just side up with mexico or cuba if the US doesn’t want them. Or they can align themselves with the EU or some muslim caliphate if you prefer.

The United States Congress has NEVER allowed a territory to become a state until that territory proved it was financially viable.
What the United States Congress should do is deed Puerto Rico to Cuba for US ownership of the eastern tip of Cuba including towns around GITMO. Then the Cubans would be able to flee Cuba without having to brave shark infested waters.

Let’s have a national referendum for Puerto Rican independence!
How about giving the place back to Spain?

Make all of New England merge! Two Leftard senators for that population is quite enough. I say this as a lifelong Boston sports fan who moved away, heh heh.

Well it’s also non-binding. Basically it’s a formalized opinion poll, which means it had absolutely no validity one way or the other.

Combined population of the 6 states of New England is 14,444,865 in the 2010 census. That would make it one of the more substantially populated states, but still far less than Florida, Texas, and California, which have 2 senators each.
[of course I know there is zero chance of this happening, but it is fun to think about]

PR is an artifact of Joseph Pulitzer's and William Randolph Hearst's fake news and subsequent war now recorded in American History as the "Spanish-American War." Other artifacts include the Philippines, Cuba, Guantanamo Bay, and the advancement of the "Progressive Movement" in American politics. When historians say that "America won the war", I think Inigo Montoya may have had them in mind:

They want nothing but free money from the US taxpayer, then they’ll vote for nothing but Democrats and corruption forever. Not just no to statehood, but hell no.
Cut them loose, NOW!

No statehood and end the territorial status. Let them be independent and pay their own way. Farewell, PR, and best wishes. Don’t call us, we’ll call you.
