I half agree. Either freajkin' make them a state, or cut them loose to be their own country. This living off the American taxpayer free of charge has gotten damn old.
I have no problem with granting them independence. None at all.
Lett hem have their own country and take all their citizens with them out of here. They regard their island as their country anyway and not the United States.
“This living off the American taxpayer free of charge has gotten damn old.”
If made the 51st State, most of them would still be on Welfare, and the new State of Puerto Rico would have 2 Dem Senators forever. Statehood for PR is a bad idea.
