IHMO they should become a state.
They have to vote in favor of that, before it can happen.
It's kinda a 50/50 split. But the over arching issue is Federal Taxes.

Off shore is a hell of a lot easier than; Outside the continental United states.
They don't get to vote, so it's not that big a deal anyway.

I think so too. Apparently the citizenery feels otherwise. Territories receive all the benefits, none of the responsibility.
Sounds like liberalism at its finest.
It has come up several times but is always voted down by the people.
If they become a State they have to pay Fed taxes just like any other State.
Right now they get the milk for free.

when i visited there, i was told by a local official one of the biggest reasons that PR has becoming a state is dealing with english as the main language. only 20% of the population speaks english and they would have to change the main education system and way of life to incorporate english into every day life.
now im not sure how much of that is valid, but it seems to be a main sticking point between the Fed or PR. opinions?

Whatever their statehood concerns are they ARE American citizens by law, therefore it should put to rest the BS that Spanish isn't an American language.

No one would "want" to vote to get taxed.
Why get taxed when you get all the benefits w/o incuring the costs.

There's more to it then that. Some people want independence. There's still resentment over how Puerto Rico was acquired by the US, the fact that Puerto Ricans were treated as second class citizens for quite some time, and the devaluation and eventual elimination of the Puerto Rican currency. I personally think, however, Puerto Rico has benefitted from American involvement when you compare it to similar islands in the Caribbean.
