Puerto Rico municipal bonds are tax free no mystery what state you live in. If they became a state, that would change and a bunch of rich fucks would have to pay taxes.

We want Britons, your accent is exotic and attractive. I have no idea why we are letting all these people across our border while making it hard for Europeans.

On December 11, 2012, the Legislative Assembly of Puerto Rico enacted a concurrent resolution to request the President and the Congress of the United States to respond diligently and effectively, and to act on the demand of the people of Puerto Rico, as freely and democratically expressed in the referendum held on November 6, 2012, to end its current status as a territory and to begin the process to admit Puerto Rico to the Union as a state.[1]

In 2014, resolutions were introduced in both houses of the United States Congress (H.R. 2000; S. 2020) to hold a yes-or-no referendum among Puerto Rican residents on statehood, with a "yes" majority compelling the President to submit legislation enacting Puerto Rican statehood.[2][3] Both resolutions died in committee.[4]

if PR became a state it'd p much be a blue state

lol if you think the Repubs would vote to instagib their supermajority

U.S. Territories with no voting rights (and could easily be states):
  • Virgin Islands
  • Puerto Rico
  • Guam
  • American Samoa
  • Northern Mariana Islands
  • a bunch of other islands

Hawaii is an island and a state, and Puerto Rico alone has more people in it than 21 of the current U.S. States. 4 million Americans brown people are being denied voting rights even though they could be drafted. :laffo:

Wyoming has the fewest people, so merge it with Puerto Rico and we can still have an even number. Alternatively, annex all of Canada's provinces as states.
