Puerto Rico Statehood.

[HappyJoy]

Actually I would prefer giving them independence, like they've wanted for decades.

Not sure who "they" are, but the residents of Puerto Rico overwhelmingly want Statehood. So we will just ask them, not you.

They've voted many times, they didn't want statehood. They don't want to pay federal income taxes or give up their olympic teams. Have you ever lived there? I have.

.

They just voted on it on election day and it statehood won by 5 points.

Of course they did. LMAO Their election was more fucked up than many of the States.

Missing Boxes, Memory Cards and Ballots: Puerto Rico’s Election Disaster (Part Two) - Latino Rebels

A week after Puerto Rico’s Election Day, missing election boxes, stolen memory cards, and a crashing election results website have led to even more public distrust against the island’s electoral commission.

They've voted many times, they didn't want statehood.

The last 2 times they voted on it -- 2017 and 2020 -- they voted for Statehood. You white wingers live in an alternate reality.

The Democrats will give Puerto Rico statehood and have permanent control of the government forever.
"Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely"
They have gotten away with their Russian Collusion scandal, their baseless impeachment scandal, and probably with their Mass Voter Fraud scandal and their Censorship scandal.
Expect more of the same.

Puerto Rico votes in favor of statehood. But what does it mean for the island? - ABC News (go.com)

Doubutful.

But certainly DC and PR (and the other outlying areas) should have statehood....

Acquisition of U.S. Citizenship | U.S. Embassy and Consulate in the Netherlands

A person can become an American citizen in one of two ways: by birth or by naturalization. A person may be born a U.S. citizen by either jus soli, i.e., through place of birth, or jus sanguinis, i.e. through descent from his/her parents. With very few exceptions, most of which have to do with...

nl.usembassy.gov

Its crazy that we have citizens who are not considered citizens of a state.

Take the outlying areas and have them become parts of the current 50 states. Take the 3 electors from DC and get rid of them. DC residents become residents of Maryland (or VA--whichever). Its silly to have an even number of electors as well.

It's not crazy

DC is inside virginia....You can't have a state within a state without the bigger states approval.

Puerto Ricans have never voted in a binary vote for statehood. It is not clear a majority of people on the island support statehood......Merely respecting the democratic process. If Yes would win in a binary vote on statehood republicans could not prevent them. THey'd have to allow them in, as it stands ricans don't vote for statehood and that's why they're not a state

Maybe do some fucking research my god....

What is with all these retards on the left thinking PR want to become a state....? Wishful thinking not backed up by PR voters. I hear this all the time triggers me each time. THe anti racist party not listening to the Brown Ricans when they say they don't want to be a state. lol

You didn't seem to read what I wrote. Maybe do some fucking research.

You said a people who don't want statehood should have it

I did you ignorant ****

Shut up retards, you have no idea what you're talking about.

Just because a talking head told you Ricans want statehood doesn't make it true. Been plenty of votes on the issue. Ricans clearly do not want statehood

DC wants statehood if you believe the polls:

View attachment 422576

Yea now show me virginia's numbers

There are two relevant voting populaces

Virginia and DC

You can't make a state within a state without the larger states approval. I told you that.

Now maybe Virginia supports DC statehood, IDK. But that's the relevant question here. I have no doubt people living in DC want statehood.

Again, you didn't read what I wrote...feel free to do some fucking research...

I am reading what you said

You didn't include relevant information..../

DC needs virginia's approval, they have a democratic process as well. lol

Nah... It needs an amendment. It won't get it.

You don't need an amendment to make a portion of D.C. a state.

Really? I thought you did.

The District of Columbia would still need to exist however the size and location are not coded into the 23rd amendment. My understanding is that it's just required that DC have the same number of electoral votes as the smallest state. So, you simply just for lack of a better saying redistrict the district. So that DC only takes up the federal buildings and the mall. The rest of DC would make up the new state. Then we would have the new state with a full set of representatives, senators and electoral college votes (probably still 3, maybe 4). DC and what's left of it would still retain it's 3 electoral college votes and at this time pretty much the only citizens of DC would be the president and his/her family and maybe some staff. It's at this point that it might be pretty easy to amend the Constitution to strip the electoral college votes from the smaller District of Columbia.

Democrats if/when it's possible should take this route. Fix the issue with lack of representation for the citizens of DC and then solve the constitutional issues that will be crated afterward.

And you only care because you know your ideology is unpopular and cant win national support. And you are too lazy and stupid to modify it to get more support.

i'm half indian you ignorant shit

again it wasn't a binary vote that didn't get a majority

shut the fuck up you stupid darkie

god damn

fucking uppity blacks making us all look bad. Fuck off

The tests weren't racist you're stupid. Good thing we ship in african elites by the boatload to even it out

No they should not, because this nation was made for Americans and for freedom. We will now allow an interest opposed to those causes to rule us, ever...

If you want the Venezuelan experience, stick on a boat. That's the only way to teach some idiots that free shit is not free.

Do you even have a clue about how batshit crazy you sound?

Puerto Ricans, citizens of DC, etc.. fought in our wars (and continue to do so). They should belong to a state you dimwit.

Great, let NY annex them, a good portion of Puerto Ricians live there anyway.

The Jews ( extreme Bolsheviks) are getting their azz kicked every day in NYC by thugs

DC Statehood is next. Currently taxation without representation. DC pays more Federal Tax than 22 states yet they have no vote on how that money is spent

Or, alternatively, let its denizens declare absentee residency in one of the surrounding states; break up the bloc.

Afterwards, launch a rapid-fire and extensive program to gentrify the capital and push-out the riff-raff.

How would that work, exactly. If PR becomes a state, it gets Two Senators and MAYBE 8 congressmen.

That's really not enough to Swing control of either body.

Sure it is, turd

"Its crazy that we have citizens who are not considered citizens of a state." Lots of people work/live abroad.

Sure. But a Texan who lives in Hong Kong still can call themselves a Texan.

People move around too, so maybe from 4 or 5 states and they don't identify with any, really.

You deserve to live in Cuba

With all the Latin honeys?

We do not want to live with what you are promoting. Tell us how all the islands and central America and South America just to start are going to live like most of us in the United States. Tell us...tell us...tell us.. You can not. Why? I have asked multiple times and not one of you Prog shave given me an answer.

Not sure if you're talking about US Territories or not.... when you mention "all the islands and central America and South America". Really, what are you trying to say?


However, when it comes to DC, Puerto Rico and Guam....If you're born there, you are an American citizen.

I am talking about a true standard of living. With the reality of pulling their weight. There is massive evidence of tens of billions of dollars giving to them with many military bases and other advantages with massive corruption and huge money given for utilities such as electricity and water not used for the purposed designed for. Ph uk u and the American citizen crap.

Again, for some reason, you won't tell us what territory you're talking about. My guess is you're a fucking idiot who doesn't know jack shit.

All the more reason to bring them into a state like FL and have an actual governor, legislature, police force, etc... Essentially turn San Juan into San Pedro.

I got news for you, moron: Puerto Rico has a governor, a Senate and a House of Representatives.

Why can’t Republicans convince Puerto Rican’s that they will be better off under Republican policies?

They have to deprogram them from the fake news media, their government grade school education, their college brainwashing, Hollywood brainwashing, and Tech giant censorship.
