PR has been playing this game for DECADES!!! I say it’s time to cut’em loose. If they can’t decide that they want to be a state in the USA after 4 national votes that have failed to achieve a plurality one way or another, it’s time to sever the ties that bind.
Right now, they have all of the benefits of statehood with none of the obligations. They’re playing the Congress for suckers and doing it very effectively. But, again, that’s not too difficult with our Congress.
Your not going to be able to just wave a magic wand and revoke Puerto Ricans’ citizenship.
If you set a timetable for independence, you will have about three million new “Nuyoricans.”
