The 51st state?

H.R. 2499 hits the floor tomorrow - and the press hasn't made a peep. Perhaps everyone is cool with adding another star to the flag? This bill supposedly gives Puerto Rico freedom or something -- which is weird because they already have that. What does the bill actually do? Opens the door for America to go from 50 to 51 states - Glenn explains how on radio today. Ref. Source 6

H.R. 2499

Glenn talked more about the bill that could put Puerto Rico on the fast track to becoming the 51st state in America. Progressive groups are pulling out every trick in the book to make sure the next vote goes in favor of statehood. Even some Republicans are throwing their support behind this bill. Find out why. Ref.

I would love to see Puerto Rico become a state. Having them as a state put our foot in the caribbean a little bit more. smile.gif

House Vote On Puerto Rico's Status Divides Hispanic Lawmakers

The House last week approved a measure that would allow a referendum on Puerto Rico's political future. The bill provides for a two-step process in which Puerto Ricans would first vote on whether they wish to maintain the island's current status as a you.S. Commonwealth or change direction. If the latter choice prevails, Puerto Rico could then hold a second vote presenting four options: statehood, independence, the current status or sovereignty linked to the United States. We speak with Rep. Jose Serrano, who backed the measure. Ref. Source 8

I would love Puerto Rico as a United States territory. Like stated before, it gives us a more broader influence and resources. I don't see any negatives, because the locals already speak English mainly and have our currency.
