It’s a cookbook.
Liberals never learn.
He doesn’t have 38 states that will vote for it and he knows it.
Texas has the right to divide itself into 5 states. It was a condition of its admission. Now wouldn’t that be fun.
Puerto Rico has elected Republicans as their Delegate to the House, and Republican governors in the past. It may not necessarily be automatic that they would elect Democrats.
DC cannot be a state per the Constitution. They would need to stack the courts first to get more judges who will ignore it.
Puerto Rico has waited long enough for it’s independence.
It is time for Puerto Rico to finally meet its long longed for goal of joining the family of nations as a full equal.
PR statehood was an election year gag that he stuffed into AOC’s mouth.
that chick got used like the big tipping customer that took her back to his volvo after her shift at applebee’s was over.
DC should be ceded back to the states from which it came.
He will always be ‘Chuck U’ to me.
what did the republicans trade him behind our backs? It will be at our expense, of course! But what “EXACTLY” did they trade away and for?
Golly. I hope the proponents aren’t disappointed. I mean, being rats, they lie all the time. surely they can’t be surprised Schumer was just pretending to support statehood as a political ploy
AOC and the SQUAT want to make Puerto Rico a state because it will easily be more infiltrated by Communist Cuba (Castro and Raul were behind most of the terrorist groups and acts from the 1960’s onward), Venezuela and perhaps Russia and Red China.
Puerto Rican voters are not the most educated but most are loyal to America and the reds have worked long and hard to change it. AOC is their “Great White Hope” to restart the ball. Schumer knows that he is caught in the middle but that the rest of NY State wants his balls on a string, not PR as a state, and that guides his political ambition to be president before he dies (May God speed that up!).
Puerto Rican’s have the advantages of US citizenship and the social welfare benefits that come with it. They also do not pay federal income taxes unless they work for the federal government. The privileges they lack, due to the territory status of the island, is the ability to vote for President and elected representation in Congress.
Puerto Rico has the protection of the US military and irs citizens have access to the federal court system. They use the US dollar for currency and the US Postal Service for mail. If a Puerto Rican moves to a state in the US, he or she can immediately register to vote in that state. However, by becoming a legal resident of a state, he Puerto Rican must pay federal taxes.
Because PR isn’t an automatic Dem slam dunk???
Come on Schmucky, America can always use another basket case. We’re taking in the rest of the failed Hispanic population in this hemisphere.
Puerto Rico is nothing like the United States and thus should not become a state.
...but hell bent on amnesty for millions of illegals!
