We should have forced Puerto Rico to make a choice years ago; become a state or become a completely independent nation.

... its public corporations aren’t eligible to seek protection from creditors in federal bankruptcy court because it isn’t a state. Why is that a problem? Seems like ALL of Puerto Rico would be federal territory. Is it a Constitution thingy?......................

We made a choice in 2012. Statehood. Congress ignored it.

Not surprising that the lawmakers weren’t aware of Puerto Rican citizen status....they aren’t aware of many of us in the continental U.S. as being citizens either.

Since they can’t vote in presidential elections and don’t have any meaningful representation in Congress, the politicos there don’t care one whit. If they become a state, then they will have two Senators and a House delegation that has voting power to be bought and sold at the going price...........................

Don’t let them become a full state because they are a ‘taker’ nation, heavily democrat part supporters.

Why do you see those two choices as the choices facing PR? What is wrong with them keeping their current status in perpetuity? Why the idea that they either have to be bound into the union as a state, or else be an independent country?
To: cll
It should be given its independence.

No. That’s why our Congressman was booted during last Sunday’s primaries.

The fact that they ARE citizens, allowed to travel freely in the US and speak Spanish was the start of bi-lingual literacy tests for voting....back when we had literacy tests.

Democrat. He was running for governor, though. His local party, which is comprised of both democrats and republicans, chose a Republican for their Congress ticket for the upcoming November election.
