Puertoricans are too swarthy to be real Americans

Although if if PR becomes a state, maybe we can kick out Texas so flag doesn't change?

If you've ever been to PR you know that it smells like old socks and cabbage all the time and the people are rude.
I once fought a bear in PR and it lost, but was very unsportsmanlike and I feel that should count against them wanting to be a state.

Thank you.

Just merge Puerto Rico and Texas. They've already got the same flag.

They'd be too busy talking poo poo about how fast/slow they each speak to hype finally being the largest state (?).

Good idea. I think we should merge Wyoming, Montana, N and S Dakota and just call it big dumb red state. At least that way they wouldn't have such disproportionate representation.

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]

Argh.

"Hmm. Puerto Rico voted for statehood. Think we should make them a state?"

"Do we HAVE to? I have an appointment with my chiropractor in an hour."

"Well, how about we propose another referendum to them asking 'Are you SURE you want to be a state?'"

"I like that idea. You want to draw up the papers?"

"Are you kidding? My day is packed, I have nearly a dozen lobbyists in line to suck my dick and that's just this afternoon."

"Well, drat. Ain't nobody got time for this Puerto Rican poo poo. Let's just ignore it and if anybody asks we'll just keep saying 'we're working on it' until nobody remembers."

"Now that's a plan. It's a lot cooler having exactly 50 states anyhow."

If they became a state they would have to pay income tax, which they don't want to do.

i think they should get to be a state. 51 states means they can redesign the flag, and we can get one of those cool circle ones or maybe some tasteful pixle art?

And then they would have some sort of voting for designs/names and someone from the internet will win the vote to call it Flaggy McFlaggerston.

We should allow Puerto Rico to become a state but require them to send their women to the mainland between the ages of 18 and 30. On their 31st birthday we would then ship them back to the island, because it's all down hill from there.
