Nonwhite Spanish speaking people, the majority of whom receive the WIC card on the island, will only give us 8 Dems or RINOs at best.

Haven't we learned our lessons regarding the nonwhite, government-dependent vote? Do you realize that the median IQ on PR is 89? The level of PC on this site on matters of culture has been sickening as of late.

Puerto Ricans voted in favor of statehood in the last election. It's the first win for this question, so it may be closer than you think.

Impeach the kenyan or secession.

well, as I understand it, from the Jones-Shafroth act of 1917, the Puerto Ricans are already US citizens and I believe they receive federal funds for federal programs (Medicare etc.)

They've been tied to the US since the Spanish-American war.

Yes, they would be mainly democrats, but I don't see how we could deny them statehood based on the acts etc. that have tied them to us for the past century
