Should the US admit Puerto Rico as a State ... and Split Michigan to maintain the balance in the Senate

[Juicin]

Why would the US add a state that would cost taxpayers more than it would provide? Trump should grant them independence instead.

Because we rule them like a colony you stupid mother ******

WHat teh ****? lol

No republican senator would say waht you just said you ******* tool

All that is required is that they vote on it and win a real majority. That's it.

As if we couldn't turn a profit off a tropical ******* island....

Obviously you are too stupid to understand the process, it not just one simple vote. There would be no advantage in adding a third world shithole to the union.

The advantage of adding Puerto Rico would be to the Democrat Party as they would get two new senators- just as if they admitted DC and Haiti as states

Puerto Rico votes in favor of US statehood

Puerto Ricans voted in favor of U.S. statehood Tuesday, the sixth time the territory has held such a nonbinding referendum, The New York Times reported.The U.S. territory voted …

Obviously Republicans aren't going to agree to just add two Democrat Senators, that would be a major shift in balance of power. So let's take that out of the equation. Would you support Puerto Rico acceptance anyway? Splitting Michigan would of course be Detroit as a State and the rest of the State as a State

No, because the fact is Puerto Rico is a welfare state that should never become a State...

I rather annex Mexico and Canada fort if ever possible...

Yes it is just one vote

Congress could make it happen tomorrow, there is nothing preventing it but the norm that it requires a vote from the territory

Bipartisan consensus on that issue. Would pass with a super majority.

You dumb white trash sack of shit. By that standard we should get rid of most of the SE of the US. All takers

You ignorant ****, it requires legislation which means passage in both houses of Congress plus the president's signature.
