The Good insane United states of America
These people are American citizens and we should give them every right every other American has...
-Vote for President, senator, congressman, etc.
-Respect

And we should probably invest a few hundred billion in their energy infrastructure.
 
Just what we need. 3.5 million more votes for leftists. We keep them on welfare but at least they cannot officially vote (but they do, don't they? especially in NYC)
 
No they cannot be a state. One third of their population already receives food stamps and other assistance. Besides many their do not want to be a state of the United States.

Welfare in Puerto Rico - Wikipedia

Public welfare in Puerto Rico
is a system of nutrition assistance, public health, education, and subsidized public housing, among others, provided to the impoverished population of the island. It is mainly funded by United States Federal assistance and by local government funds.

Puerto Rico received more than $6.5 billion annually in federal aid from the United States.[1] A substantial portion of this amount is earmarked for public welfare, including funding educational programs (such as Head Start), subsidized housing programs (such as (Section 8 and public housing projects), and a food stamp system called the Nutrition Assistance for Puerto Rico program.

They do not want to be a state because that would mean paying federal taxes. Which is good as it is.

It would just give the U.S. a shitload more socialist and communist which we don't need at the moment.

They have turned down being a state ten times in my lifetime. They just said yes because they are broke.

Weird, most people on welfare and the biggest takers are the southern states.
75 cents out of every dollar goes to California.

Where Blacks are a very high percentage of the population. Who do you think the "most people on welfare and the biggest takers" in Chicago are.
