Well it’s not a new idea either. I remember President Ford wanted to make PR a state. And the first George Bush called for he people of PR to determine their future and supported statehood if the people chose that option.
The recent election had such low voter turnout it’s hard to say that election really represents the choice of PR residents to be a state. Then again even if they vote for it Congress still would have to vote on it.
I hate to see PR becime a state just to get a federal bail out of their financial problems.
