Most Ricans dont earn enough income to pay income taxes at a significant level. It wont change with statehood. No more Third World nations in the US please.
You mean like those people in the Appalachia???
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
