The only reason to add another state is if it brings something of value to the rest of the union. PR does not. Furthermore, the people of PR have show consistently that they don’t want to be a state.
Cut them loose.
That seems to have changed, from what I read:
The fifth referendum was held on June 11, 2017. 97% percent voted for statehood. The 23% voter turnout is as valid as others during their admission process: Wisconsins statehood plebiscite had a 17% turnout, Arizona 7%, Hawaii 35%, and Alaska had a 21% turnout.
Furthermore, the people of PR have show consistently that they dont want to be a state. ................... But, they like it here in Amerika, everything for free in America......
