They do not have enough population to make a state.
They would be best served with the same deal as Puerto Rico.
Self government under the Constitution, no income taxes, full US citizenship.
That oughta change some minds.
Too Liberal to be a state any time soon.
Sweeten the deal by promising to modernize them infrastructurally.
Besides it would mess up the flag
Sign me up for that no income taxes thingy
Does Rhode Island have enough population to make a state?
Here's my proposal...
Since Greenland is used to being governed by the island of Denmark, let's merge it with Rhode Island and call the new state...
Rhode Islands!
That way, we still have 50 states and the balance in Congress is unchanged.

If they got that, expect the population to enter a very steep decline. Unless you are born there or have a Danish family connection to commercial fishing or some other Danish run business, you will want to leave as soon as you can. And they will.
