If PR decolonizes, it will become a Venezuela in short order.

It has been some time since I last explored the topic, but I believe the action has to be initiated from their side, or we’d have likely booted them long ago.

You're right. But PR is a charity case. Time to cut them loose.

[Eleutheria5]

Didn’t they already have a referendum, and the result was that they wanted to stay a colony?

[Eleutheria5]

This referendum doesn’t have status quo as an option.

San Juan has plenty of fancy hotels for the tourist industry. Brothels, too, I’m sure. Maybe they can become part of Cuba?

[tinamina]

I seem to remember that they’ve always voted not to be a state because of the tax problem. If they became a US state they would be subject to federal income taxes which they aren’t now. Is that correct.?

[Bikkuri]

I vote for independence. Let them take care of their own issues that they have made for and from themselves.

[qaz123]

If they vote for independence then most of the people on that island, that are living off of Uncle Sam, will lose those checks. That ain’t happening. Especially after the hurricane.
