That’s fine. When Texas leaves, you’ll be back to 50.
WTH? We already have 57 states. No mas!
My impression of Puerto Rico comes from visiting and talking to residents, I would gladly accept their statehood. If others form opinions based on media presentations that is their problem. Whatever incidence of negative behavior sensationalized in the media can be similiarly compared to like trash stateside. Make no mistake, Puerto Ricans are overwhelmingly christian and family oriented. I also served with with two PR’s during the Vietnam era and will stand with them now, whatever they choose.
