In Puerto Rico, Jeb Bush pushes statehood - CNNPolitics.com

Jeb is for it. So is Obama.

How about you?

Shouldn't that be up to the Puerto Ricans?

Puerto Rican status referendum, 2012 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Been dead since than.

Why pay for free stuff. Maybe PR can take TN's place.

I used to think this was a given, and Puerto Ricans support it by majority. But it will not happen anytime soon. Republican Congress will make sure of that.

Sorry, Puerto Rico, you're **** out of luck due to our stupid ass bi-party system here in the mainland.

Not really but it's not my call. They have to vote for and ask for it first.

The last election for statehood ended with approx. 54% for question #1;(change current status from commonwealth): #2 was about statehood and 61% voted of it.

 

[82_VOL_83]

So roughly 33% want to be a state?

 

[82_VOL_83]

Actually, probably less than a third.

As I read the article, they voted for it. But Congress has to vote to do it. Hmmmmm ....

If I recall the referendum in 2012 was non-binding though.

No. Bigger is not better.

if America has any hopes of legalizing recreational drugs, then we need Puerto Rico. We must break our addiction to Foreign cocaine.

If we can divide Texas into 4 states, I could support bringing in Rico.

Puerto Ricans don't want statehood....

Why be a state and pay federal income taxes?

Why be a state when they receive all the benefits of being a state without contributing?

Why would we want to make a state out of a territory where the average family income is under $20,000?

The biggest employer in Puerto Rico is the national guard..think about that one...

Living in Orlando I can attest that making Puerto Rico a state is the worst idea I have ever heard off, next to letting Iran have nukes.

We let Florida become a state. Can't be THAT much worse.

That was WAY before the Spanish invaded.

Interesting some are saying no. And here I thought we came to be because we thought taxation without representation was wrong.

Actually Puerto Rico's major export is crime; GTA, rape, shootings, etc. Oh and terrible driving and an inability to park on cement (cars on yards). MY fellow central floridians can back me up on this.

Once upon a time there was a thriving coffee industry but none of the islanders want to work for a living anymore.

So until then we will be dependent on Colombia for are hard drugs

Cant even buy American anymore.

You know how frustrating it is when we can't find workers to harvest good ole fashion American blow?

You forgot J-Lo, Michelle Rodriguez, Talisa Soto, Zoe Saldana, Kimberly Guilfoyle and Roselyn Sanchez.

That's a partial list...
