Should Puerto Rico become a state? Before you stormfags spaz

>>137728821
Yes if they're willing to pay taxes and aren't allowed to collect any sort of social benefits for at least 5 years.

>>137728821
They're not US citizens. They can't vote and have no representation in the senate.

They're also as poor and crime ridden as Detroit.

>>137728821
They should replace California

No communist shitskins shouldn't be allowed to vote.
t. intransigent conservative

>>137728821
Democrat nigger lovers who only want to become a state so we can bail them out of their debt? Let's give them back to Spain

no, it's poor, its debts are massive and it's full of niggers.

>>137729111
This. We need to cut puerto rico loose. They're a debt-ridden shithole and those who immigrate here aspire to be niggers at best.

They're an island of welfare leeches, plain and simple.

>>137729111
>>137729176
>>137729235
What makes you think they can't vote? They literally can move to another state and become a resident. Most Puerto Ricans have done just that.

yes pls join our union and alberta is next

>>137728821
>>137729455
I couldn't care less, but just know that if you give us independence, the exodus to mainland US will increase tenfold since we'll still be American citizens and nobody here wants to live in the island if it goes independent.
>>137729111
>They're not US citizens
Yes we are.

>>137729111
They are citizens. If they move to one of the 50 states (which they have the right to do, as citizens) they can register to vote immediately.

Puerto Rico should be given to Cuba

>>137728821
no, they're poor and want federal money to pull themselves out of their own shit

half of them don't want statehood anyway, the other half can fuck off to miami

>>137729663
fairly sure that if they cut you loose and give you independence you stop being US citizens by default

The last thing we need is more communist senators

>>137730216

puerto ricans are way more conservative than the average cali democrat, as a conservative wouldn't you want more conservative democrats

>>137730210
Puerto Ricans born in the island after being cut loose won't be american, but people that currently have American citizenship won't lose it.
As soon as the independence announcement comes, people will be leaving in droves. Myself included

>>137729027
fpbp. what do they bring to the party? what do we (the prior existing states) get out of it?

>>137730520
socially, yeah, but not economically. Like all spics except cubans escapees, they're welfare babies.

>>137730210
Anyone born on U.S. territory is a citizen for life unless they renounce their citizenship.

>>137728821

if they are a state don't they get senate seats which means more senate seats for leftists.

>>137730520
The problem isn't with what's in their head, it's all about paying for their fiestas and I'm not really a fan of that. Think of E Germany Achmed

>>137730823
>>137730615
oh ok
guess you learn something new every day

>>137730749
And yet sadly, we both know that PR if made a state would just be given all benefits of citizenship without pause. The Dems and left would push hard about social benefits, and 85% if not more of PR would be on all forms of government aid. PR would be a permanent blue, left owned state forever.

>>137728821
They are a colony under US control, 10 k are part of the US army, they should join the states or leave, I don't really care, most of them speak Spanish so would be good for other beaners

>>137730847
So? If they were right wing they would bring more Republicans to the senate. If conservatives can't win over the Puerto Ricans that's their fault.

They have despacitos. Really tasty. You should try

>>137731098
just how blue are they? given their religiousness and family values i wouldn't put it past them to turn to a more moderate republican, it's just not a really great time right now since no one is moderate

>>137729663
No you're not. Americans don't even put your shitty island on maps. 99% of Americans don't even know Puerto Rico exists.

Whenever a Puerto Rican makes it into the MLB everyone has to pretend he escaped from Cuba.

>>137728821
Unless you can convince all the republican leaning counties in California to break off and become their own state/s, I don't want anything to do with that shit.

>>137728821
Exact opposite. Cut them loose. No longer strategically significant.
Enjoy your independence, Paco. We're not paying for your gibs anymore.

>>137730615
independence announcement? i thought /ourguy/ Ricky Rossello was trying to get PR to become a state if he can get the debt problem taken care of?

Well it's less about what they're morals are like, and more of what they'd get in return for voting blue. Get me? Blue/Dems/left are all about the government giving more to the "needy", to those who don't work. Taking from those who do and re-distributing it.

The red/right/Republicans are about taking care of yourself. Self sustained existence. Less government. So imagine you're in PR. You have politician(s) telling you not only will you be made a full blown citizen, but you're eligible for a bunch of free shit. While the other one says "OK citizen, time to get to work and contribute ", which one do you think they'll pick? Especially the younger generation.

How much of that goes to pay for Pack's gibs?
Better question: how much of that will be confiscated by PR in a couoke of years if the mainland doesn't take on all the debt building up?

Most of my taxes go to social security, Medicare/Medicaid, and the military. I'm ok with all that since I served in military and get free healthcare from the VA.

...Do you mean instead of California. We need a nice even number. Which state are you proposing we give up?

>>137733429
Why would I want to get rid of the wealthiest state in the Union, or any state for that matter?

>>137728821

Sadly, Puerto Rico is in the process of becoming whiter than the U.S. in a few decades...

>>137731098
Yup. ABC, CNN and co would find a starving baby of color, manufacture a giant, weepy narrative and that would be it.

>>137728821
Puerto Rico is as corrupt as a third world country. We give them billions towards infrastructure / utilities and most of it gets "lost". They arent repaying any of their bond loans. We'd be better off pushing them out to sea.

>>137728821

I would be in favor of it, but they have too many Puerto Ricans in Puerto Rico.

>>137728821

The only thing it should become is a crater.
