Sounds like it's a done deal.

Ping!
They’ll use the same fraud to win statehood, regardless of how the votes go.
It was Eric Cantor’s vote for PR statehood back in 2012 that motivated me to work so hard to primary him out.
Any Republican that supports this is a Bush League Republican.
Get bent and be thankful for your independence. Many of us are looking for the exit to this Hotel California fake Union.
Just what this country needs now is to graft on another piece of necrotic tissue.
We can call them the Welfare State.
How about independence?
Keep pushing PR to become a County of FL and turn it red by offering land to military retirees at a huge discount as long as they commit to reside there for 10 years.
Quash DC Statehood by moving federal departments to blue urban ch*thole cities where they can perfume their odorous blueness and keep it away from the rest of us. Leave DC as a tourist stop only.
Welcome to ‘statehood’........Now, where’s your W-2 and 1040’s?..................
Two more RAT Senators
PR is a drain on the US. PR adds nothing to the US. PR should be independent, or given back to Spain, anything but being part of the US. And take the VI with them.
WHY would the people of PR want statehood?
They’d get hit with federal taxes immediately.
i get why the politicians would want it... as they’d be getting paid off by the dems... but it screws the people
PR was against statehood...something like 75% against. Then Hurricane Maria hit. Country was devastated and went completely broke. Now? Bailouts, bailouts, bailouts! We would be on the hook to pay off PR debt, and it would become a giant welfare wart on the rear of every taxpayer. NO to statehood. Let them have their independence.
Didn’t I just read they have a problem in PR with violence against women being out of control?
Sounds like it's a done deal.
Does the populous really want to pay federal taxes? My friends in the navy from Puerto Rico loved being exempt from paying federal taxes. I admit I was a bit jealous.
We should cut PR loose, and repatriate Hawaii while we are at it
LOL! Statehood = fiscal bailout ‘in trade’ for swamp creature re-reinforcements.
ALL of the states in the nation must agree this is NOT DONE through congress!! BUT HEY the constitution be damned!!!
