The PRs don’t have to “slip across the beach.” They are American citizens.
They will if the residents vote Demonrat.
That would be convenient since the flag could stay the same.
PR has been playing this game for DECADES!!! I say it’s time to cut’em loose. If they can’t decide that they want to be a state in the USA after 4 national votes that have failed to achieve a plurality one way or another, it’s time to sever the ties that bind.
Right now, they have all of the benefits of statehood with none of the obligations. They’re playing the Congress for suckers and doing it very effectively. But, again, that’s not too difficult with our Congress.
New Zealand votes -NO!
Your not going to be able to just wave a magic wand and revoke Puerto Ricans’ citizenship.
If you set a timetable for independence, you will have about three million new “Nuyoricans.”
Looks Zero wasn’t kidding about the 57 states, he wants the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Whats next...Haiti? Jamaica? Maybe the whole Caribbean?
Lots of black voters for 2012.
(I'm just sayin').
The House bill will apparently force the Commonwealth to keep voting on this issue every 8 years until they get the answer the Democrats want. Sort of like the referenda in the EU which had to be redone until the people of a country voted the way the bureaucrats in Brussels wanted them to vote.
D.C.
Well HELL, why don’t we just go ahead and adopt Haiti while we are at it?
Mexico too since they are dying to become U.S. citizens.
Malkin tried to remind us of Obummer’s gaffe, “I’ve visited all fifty-seven states....” Michelle Obie taught him to read a teleprompter pretty well, but the poor child can’t read factual material, e.g. legislation, worth a damn. Hence his confusion over AZ’s new law, the Supreme Court decision that he misrepresented in his State of the Union, and the behavior of his Cambridge “breaker of his own house.” Hussein seems to hate America in general, whites in particular, and police most especially. Funny if not so sad.
Does the word Sarcasm mean anything to you?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't the people of PR rejected statehood at least 3 times so far when it was brought to a vote? It's not the people of PR who are petitioning, it's the lackeys of the democrat party who are pushing it...and in this case it's congress who are pushing it, not PR.
congress should pass a resolution inviting Canada to join the US as well. And since the Philippines were a US territory at one time we should include them as well. After all, the flag is going to look stupid with 51 stars...or 59 if you possess Obama's lack of knowledge of the US. Let's run the number up enough to warrant a nice new flag for the liberals to burn.
Yeah, well, so is a unit of 80,000 army troops, specially trained for urban warfare and "civil unrest". In *October*. Under the direct command of Hussein.
This is not tin foil hat stuff. It is a fact. In writing. And it is frightening.
We had better be prepared, and willing, to do more than just show up at the polls this fall. It is unlikely these people are turning over power legally....or peacefully I'm afraid.
Special army unit ready to be deployed on American soil just before Nov. elections (Update)
"In October of this year, one month prior to the November midterm elections, a special army unit known as 'Consequence Management Response Force' will be ready for deployment on American soil if so ordered by the President."

When a Democratic President needs two extra votes in the Senate?
