Valium ....interesting!
The big problem with accepting more people into the union, through statehood or otherwise, is this system we have where anyone can be on the government dole. The gov't budget is just growing larger and larger and larger.
IF we could end this system of "free" (federally-funded) programs that just grow bigger and bigger, then maybe we could not only offer full statehood to PR but to other countries, territories, etc. And, if we did, PR would be the first I'd bet most Americans would want admitted. Right now adding another state would be a big mistake.
