How does a territory become a state?(from Wikianswers)
1. The area desiring Statehood first petitions Congress for admission.
2. If and when Congress chooses, it passes an enabling act, which directs the framing of a proposed State constitution.
3. A convention prepares the constitution, which is then put to a popular vote in the proposed State.
4. If the voters approve the constitution, it is then submitted to Congress for its consideration.
5. If Congress still agrees to Statehood after reviewing the document, it passes an act of admission.
6. If the President signs the act, the new State enters the union.
Do the Republicans really risk deepening their Latino problem by blocking PR's request for admission. Sounds like political suicide to me.

Yea, bringing them over is the right thing to do. Only good thing about that would be they actually pay federal income tax. And how much would we actually get from them? I think, i'm not sure, that they are already considered American citizens?
