Puerto Rico votes for statehood. 51st state!

[Hans Gercmiov]

Thought this was pretty interesting. What do you guys think? Puerto Rican hoes are sexy, so I'm all for it. I wonder what the new flag would look like. They also have the option to vote for independence or to remain a constituent.

lol, it's not like Puerto Rican hoes aren't in America or American already. I guess if you want more Democratic voters it's cool.

That comes afterwards.

It has to be approved by Congress, if my understanding is correct.

I was being facetious. But boricua bitches are hot doe.

I'll be interested to see how this sorts itself out. The fact that they pay most US Federal Taxes, and we were founded on the whole "no taxation without representation" platform makes for an entertaining tap-dance for political opposition.

Especially if PR elects exit as an alternative, and those same politicians don't want to let them go ...

P.S. Everybody knows they are already US Citizens, right? No matter what is decided, they can still move to Nebraska (or wherever you choose in the US).

What's the upside for the other 50 states?

Most likely it will go as it has before, to remain the same . That way they get many benefits and not responsibly.

Afterwards we get to vote on giving away Florida.

Just as I suspected. There isn't one. They should have some self-respect and vote for independence.

My only objection is that I don't want a flag with 17 rows of 3 stars. Tell those lousy chickens that if they can design a good-looking replacement, they're in.

Make it California and I'm in.

Yeh but aren't they mostly leftists? They'll be eating zoo animals within a year.

A million more pensioners, whose daughters and granddaughters have already fled to the mainland years ago.

Great boost for the flags industry though!

Or if you want to save money:

At least give me a bed outta state to stay in till I get my feet on the ground.

They're completely bankrupt and after 1 generation of patriotic gratitude they'll all become bitter democrat flag burners making up for-profit oppression stories about how you "tricked" them into joining

Hellz yeah

Just come to Texas. As long as you're not a lib, you'll love it here. And if you are, there's always Austin.
