I’d be in favor of granting PR statehood if it was done in some kind of proper order. The way they are doing the bum’s rush sets off all kinds of alarm bells for me.
For me the right way to start would be to hold another referendum with the three options; statehood, independence, and status quo. If statehood gets substantially over 50%, it would be proper at that point to petition congress for statehood.
Probably the best way to go. I’m new to this issue but that sounds logical. DC is another story.
