The 51st State

Other than a vote in Congress, why would Puerto Rico want statehood?

Aren't they basically a liberal lefty welfare state? Seems to me that all they would want from statehood is access to more Federal money. Any other reason for this push? Why now?

more (((young))) voters

They want to be classified as a higher form of nigger.

You explained it. Turn the Senate blue, and more free gibs.

We are not leftists. We always opposed gay marriage.

We do not have Republican and Democrat parties. We have our own parties and all the important ones are center left and center right. All of them are corrupt, sadly, but we are not leftists.

I would say we as as right wing as cubans in USA, but ironically left wing Puerto Ricans move to mainland US. I'm here working and paying taxes for my island so it gets better.

We love US but Jow Forums preferred to believe (((mainstream media))) about supposedly angry spics because the response to the hurricane. Almost all problems were our fault and almost all of us mever were unthankful. Federals did a good job.

You know very well that Puerto Rican’s will always vote left right? They want the gibs and they want to bring more of their spic families with them into the mainland US.

Your representative go to congress to represent you (though without a vote). Do tell, who do your representatives caucus with?

How many (((Puerto Ricans))) are there in Puerto Rico?

First, I don't know what Puerto Ricans would vote as a state. Most latinos vote left wing but are culturally right wing, yet Cubans also vote Republican and culturally we are like cubans on many aspects. So IDK the outcome.


Second, Puerto Ricans already can more anywhere to the USA anytime they want. Being a state would not change that but maybe we would not even more to mainland as we would already be a full state.

Third, the best would be for you. USA could get federal taxes from Us. Social security and federal benefits are already granted to us anyway, so you are spending on us and not getting taxes from us.

Forth, Puerto Ricans didn't want to be Americans for decades. Your ancestors gave us citizenship anyway so don't blame us. All our founding fathers opposed being American and we were good under Spain as we had full autonomy.

Your whote racially pure ancestors (which pol are proud of) fucked up by giving us citizenship and there is no nice way to fix this. You will have to wait all American Puerto Ricans to die out anyway if you give us full independence.

I'm thinking there is more to it. What does the United States gain by making them a state? There has to be some incentive PR can offer us?

No, we have no vote in congress. The represwntative is just a speaker and she has no power. BTW she is republican.

I want Puerto rico as 51st state and Haiti/DR as 52st state

i hate your state and i hope you get hit by more hurricanes

No, you gain nothing, as we are a small country and we never expected to give you anything useful, but you lose more by keeping us as a colony and not taking federal taxes from us while giving us federal money and benefits.

Independence is good but we already are citizens so it will be a constitutional mess.

I love the USA bit I have no problem with independence if the USA wants that.

Well, you are retarded then

We receive federal money anyway and pay no taxes as a colony, so you loose more if we are hit by more hurricanes, while we get adapted.

Most of us are already in USA anyway. I don't because I'm right wing and want to fix my island.

God bless usa.

Well, describing your politician as a Republican is like calling everyone on the African continent human. Sure there are a few whites on that cursed and wretched land that make you sort of right, but you are also wrong because there are a bunch of spear chuckers and they are closer to being primate than human.

I was suppose to visit San Juan two falls ago while on a 7 day cruise but then that Hurricane wiped your islands ass. Ever since, the Governor or Mayor or whatever that woman was just appeared on TV bitching about supplies she didn't receive that were also found on the tarmac of an airport on her island waiting to be distributed. That is about the extent of what I know about PR and that's the kind of shit we need less of in our country.

>fix
>code for I like my free gibs more, and opportunity of work.

Since we’re giving billions to Israel why not annex it as a state as well?

So why your retarded racist KK white ancestors gave American citizenship to apes like us, if citizenshup almost cannot be taken away constitutionally?

That is even more retarded than being an ape if you are human and take human decisions.

I don't receive any free gibs and if I did it is what you gave us voluntarely, as we have no vote.

BTW that was the San Juan mayor. She is retarded and we do not like her. She was blaming tTrump for he incompetence and we all know it, but pol prefers to believe we hate Trump. We dont. We have 78 mayors.

Okay, CWu4sJLG. You seem well informed. I want your best elevator pitch as to why PR should be a state. No pressure but if your pitch sucks--you're basically Haiti.

Full Disclosure--I've been to nearly every island in the Caribbean. My grandfather is from St. Thomas which is a nicer island. Your landmarks smell like Urine but San Juan has a nice Casino where I once won $4,000 off a hot craps table.

>if citizenshup almost cannot be taken away constitutionally?
It can tho. We simply say: no

>Your ancestors gave us citizenship anyway so don't blame us.

>Victim mentality
Neck yourself

Puerto Ricans are unironically Third positionist without being aware of it.

>BTW that was the San Juan mayor. She is retarded and we do not like her.

Obviously you do or she wouldn't be in office.

The mayor of San Juan is a socialist who witheld aide for your people. Get fukt.

Nah you are not american.

Even if they take citizenship from us it will be a hell for military as we are the territory that provides the most soldiers.

I don't live in San Juan and she will not win elections again. Remember most people voted for Hillary? Same shit.

It is not victim mentality. We are literally powerless in the federal government. We decide shit.

>We do not have Republican and Democrat parties.
you will if you get into American politics on the national level

you being alive is a free gib, prove me wrong.

Puerto Rico is full of niggers, we should liberate the British Isles, kick the sand niggers out, and preserve the great Saxon race. That's the kind of 51st state that guarantees a legacy.

Puerto Rico aren't like Mexicans they respect their spanish ancestry theres no way they would accept joining the country that separated them from Spain, right?

Puerto Rico is the richest Latin American country per capita and the most promising economy of the Caribbean. Yes, even after the huge debt and even with the many comercial limitations of being a colony, we are as rich as Spain per capita. Compared, Haiti is the poorest country in the West.

So we have many bad things but also good things and we are recovering fast. I'm a software devwloper and I earn $20 / hr which is not bad here in the South.

We already can move to US and we already have all federal benefits so nothing would change except USA would get more money from taxing us and we would have voting power.

Or just give us independence and just let us go as it was supposed to and as we asked for but USA didn want. Just remember ypu will have tp wait a century until all Puerto Rican citizens die out anyway so you will not save a lot of money.

For comparison, if Puerto Rico becomes part of Spain again Spain would be 33% richer, as we are 1/3 the value of Spain in GDP. But remember... the debt!!!!

Politicians here are so corrupt, the more u give them the more they steal or giveaway to their friends, ironically the most corrupt party is the pro statehood party.

Because then the "All needful rules and regulations" that apply to territories won't apply anymore so they won't be able to use Puerto Rico to register everyone and pretend the federal income tax is lawful.
