Even if the P.R. legislature accepts that non-binding vote, and goes ahead with their own vote in favor of statehood, we should treat them like someone that recently filed bankruptcy...
- -First they have to dig themselves out of their own financial mess
- -Then they have to sucessfully balance their budget for SEVEN YEARS before our congress votes on their admittance
- -If ILLinois goes bankrupt, they should be sent back to being a territory, like Puerto Rico, with the same remedy applied to them
Your post makes perfect sense to me...
California may become a territory soon as well...
I was just pondering what life would be like in one of these “new territories”. Would they become an ungoverned wasteland or federal province? What incentives would be put in place to return them to statehood and solvency?
Hear! Hear!
I like your idea better than my idea. It’s unique, it sends a very strong message and the dems will hate it. Perfect!
There are as many or more Puert Rican names on the Vietnam Wall as there are from many of our states in the west and northeast.
They have bled and died for our country.
There are 9 Puerro Rican Medal of honor winners in America’s wars.
They are our brothers in arms.
I love your thinking. If only California could drop out of America as well as Illinois!
It would still be a democrat hell hole allowing two more senators for democrats.
so no way
I would still say “NO!”
