Why do we have these ongoing discussions about Puerto Rico becoming the 51st state? This has been talked about for decades off and on.
Why? Why is there a need for an island which is so geographically isolated, so culturally and economically and socially different from the rest of America, to become a state of the United States????
Yes I know Puerto Ricans have served with honor in our military. But does that mean we have to make Puerto Rico a state, to honor their service?
“Why?”

Probably the same reason Jeb and Co. think that it's a great idea to continue importing people who are economically and culturally different from Americans by the millions.
Puerto Rico doesn’t want to be a state. Didn’t they vote on this fairly recently? What kind of issue is that to run on?
