[Ebenezer]

Puerto Rico ping

[DManA]

Now take Puerto Rico -

Please.

[Responsibility2nd]

If this happens, will we be down to only 56 states?

[mikrofon]

¡ Viva las Reacquistas !

[Arm_Bears]

Just deport the bastids if they want to be part of Spain so badly.

[Cowboy Bob]

I can support this! Especially is all the PRs automatically lose US citizenship, whether they live in PR or NYC.

[pfflier]

Can’t think of a downside. Maybe they’ll take parts of NY too.

[Pelham]

Let Spain have it. Just make sure that Geraldo Rivera goes with it.

[buwaya]

Spain is broke.
Even more broke than we are.
I cant imagine why they think this is a good idea.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

LOL. WTF is the constituency for this, other than Americans tired of Puerto Rico being a net drain on tax dollars? Seriously. Spain was an empire. Puerto Rico was its colony. The Spanish military was brutal to Puerto Ricans when it controlled the island. Independence, I can see, but joining Spain is laughable.

[Paine in the Neck]

Where can I donate?

[Dagnabitt]

Choices, choices.

[sickoflibs]

I would throw in Mexico too.

[Da Coyote]

Go.

Now.

Please.

[Vendome]

Let em go.

We’ll save so much money when these hapless losers walk away...

[BuffaloJack]

Only if New York City goes with them to Spain.

[JRios1968]

I can support this! Especially is all the PRs automatically lose US citizenship, whether they live in PR or NYC.

Whoa there, Cowboy...some of us have more than paid our way to stay US Citizens.

[Billthedrill]

Well...bye.

Pretty sure more Puerto Ricans would rather be part of the United States than part of Spain. They are avoiding becoming a US state so they can avoid taxes. Imagine the taxes a country like Spain would put on them.
