It doesn’t matter whether the bill is legally binding or not. It’s just like Obama voting PRESENT.
Pence supports statehood for Puerto Rico and so does George Will and Karl Rove and all the faux conservatives.
Do you support statehood for Puerto Rico?
Do you want to pay for their ObamaCare-Romneycare, too?
How does giving a non binding vote to US citizens support OPEN BORDERS?
How exactly is Pence a faux Conservative or a RINO?
Pence did not vote to give statehood to Puerto Rico, he voted for the right for them to voice their opinion on the matter of statehood or independence.
Mike Pence:
"President Reagan was clear in his support for statehood for Puerto Rico, if that was the course that its citizens determined to follow.
The resolution before us is not about the politics of an individual region or people. What is at stake in this bill is the cherished opportunity for the people of Puerto Rico to participate in a choice about their future.
This is not a statehood bill. We are not at that juncture yet. This bill would simply allow these American citizens to state their preference through a fair and democratic vote.
They would be afforded an opportunity never before given to Puerto Ricans: to formally tell Congress whether or not they desire a change in the island’s relationship to the United States."
