Of course it does, as making them a state would align with their majority opinion as recorded in referenda and alow them all the trappings of self determination that come with being a state. And seeing that it is the only path to statehood, it is the only option. So, wrong on mutplie levels.The bill that passed the house does not allow for the people of PR to choose the status quo.
Thus, it does not allows the people the right to self-determination.
It produces nothing.Does it produce the amount of commodities Wyoming does? Not even close.
Has anyone noticed that the only people talking about this in terms of Senate seats are RepublicansNope, that's not it. You want more senate seats. Just like DC. You want to cut it up into a jigsaw puzzle so you can extract another 2 seats there .
Like was stated, you wouldn't do this is you had even a hint that this could give more power to the Republicans.
Because Democrats lie.Has anyone noticed that the only people talking about this in terms of Senate seats are Republicans

What the fuck are you babbling about?And we shouldn't?
You know, the problem with our country is when your party puts lipstick on a pig, you people actually think you're looking at a woman. You completely rule out the obvious and preach whatever lie they present to you. You refuse to look at the man behind the curtain as obvious as he may be. My rep and party are never wrong. They would never do anything so devious just for power. Don't you see? There is obviously a much more superficial reason for their actions.
Until we call out or own when they do wrong, our country is doomed, because you're going to stick up for your party no matter how evil and un-American their actions may be.
What the fuck are you babbling about?
You hate Dems
You hate equality?
"My party is never wrong"?
You partisan sycophant
That was 24 years ago. There has have been four since than. Do try and keep current!Democrats don't give a damn what Pueto Ricans want.
Puerto Ricans have already voted to reject becoming a state.
Puerto Ricans Reject Statehood
They already pay federal income taxes.Never mind that the Puerto Rican people want zero part of becoming a state. The tax burden alone would cripple them.
Not true.Yes, Republicans are not pathetic, power/control-hungry
Douche Bags like the Democrats.
Puerto Rico has already voted to reject statehood.
Do Democrats care? Elections and what the people want don't matter to Democrats. Its all about what Democrats want.
Will Puerto Rico be the next US state? Independence bill goes to US House vote today - as Dem representatives 'look forward to making history'
A bill to vote on Puerto Rico's status within the United States is headed to the house for a vote after being approved by a House committee on Wednesday.
The Puerto Rico Status Act will determine whether the island becomes a state, and independent nation, or a sovereignty associated with the US
Puerto Ricans could move a step closer to a referendum on whether the island should become a U.S. state when the House of Representatives votes Thursday on a bill outlining the process.
A House committee approved the Puerto Rico Status Act on Wednesday, paving the way for the full House vote. The bill was cosponsored by Representative Nydia Velazquez, a Democrat from New York.
The bill was also lead by Rep. Steny Hoyer, a Democrat from Maryland.
If the bill passes the House, it will need 60 votes in the closely divided Senate and Democratic President Joe Biden's signature to become law.
Puerto Rican independence bill goes to US House
No problem, we will just divide a red state up into four states.....Six new GOP Senators.
Puerto Ricans DO pay federal income tax. Why do you think they d not? They have no representation in Congress.Why would they want to be a state? They are funded by US Tax dollars, but pay no Federal income taxes.
They don't have Representatives in the House except a non-voting representative.But they don't have Senators!
I see no problem with making Puerto Rico the 51st state.
Link...and results of each 4.That was 24 years ago. There has have been four since than. Do try and keep current!
You keep repeating this mistake. Do some research!Ummm....you and Democrats need to understand PR already voted to reject statehood.
THEY DON'T WANT IT.
Finally you admit your error . Thank you!Link...and results of each 4.
Prove PR wants to be a state now.
The way Biden and Democrats ate screwing states, would YOU want to be a state right now?
Not me, if I were them.
