Its ridiculous that Puerto Rico has its own sports teams in int'l play. They're American. How can they be in the WBC? The US should be absorbing its team, they're fucking American. This is retarded.
Puerto Rico is ironically more white than the US. 75% compared to 60% of the US.

portoricans think they white, but they brown skin spics just like us dominicans, just a little more light skin than us, but still brown!!
>>74775542
Don't touch me you Haitian offspring.
>>74775041
No, they're a welfare state that should be completely cut off. Puerto Rico and its people are completely fucking useless.

Are there any resources there?

Really makes you thing.
>>74775041
Blame it on the amateur sports act signed in the 70's.

Really?

Why are you surprised? Scotland and Wales do the same.

That's what happens when you have a unique colony system that doesn't work for either side
PR has the opportunity to ask for independence in July, so we'll see how that goes
>>74778520
rly mks me think......
>They're American
How did they vote in the presidential election?
>>74780577
They can vote in primaries but not the presidency.
>>74780577
In primaries, like our other territories
>>74780630
>>74780641
They should be allowed to vote in all elections, just like other Americans.
>>74775041
Puerto rico is our son ,evil jewamerican
>>74780145
What about Washington DC. Ain't a state and being refused to be admited as a state. All states have their own goverment and own laws but they don't have their own olympic and sports sovereign. OUCH.
>>74780676
They could if they wanted to be a state, but they choose autonomy and less taxes instead
>>74780676
No they shouldn't

Puerto Rico was supposed to become a state but the Philippine–American War got in the way.
They'll never play for the USA
England and Canada are different nations but Canada is still an English colony. Pretty much the same with PR and USA

Why can't states compete?
>>74783597
Didn't its citizens vote for statehood a few years ago? What happened with that?
>>74783695
Yeah we did. You guys didn't do shit.
>>74778520
Curacao actually has their own national teams, but for the WBC their population is too small for a real competitive team
Their pitching staff would be even worse than it already is
>>74783652
>Using the slums and shittes part of the country as an example
I can do that too
>Be 60% white
>Be first world country
>>74783692
California, New Jersey, and New York would dominate all the other states
>>74783721
Why didn't we? It would be another base to tax.
>>74783872
Because we're a tax heaven for many US companies. Spanish speaking population and smaller red states would lose senate seats.
>>74783872
Idk man, all I know is that the referendum that we did wasn't backed by Congress so maybe that didn't make it official. Obongo said that he would support statehood if there would be a clear majority that supported statehood but that went to shit.
>>74775041
>>74783872
Yeah also this
>>74783471
>Moving to america to find a latina gf
>>74783913
Actually it would cost seats in the House (the Senate is 2 per state) but Congress would probably raise the number of seats to allow Puerto Rico in
>>74784018
We would also get big representation in congress due to our 3m population
puerto rico and costa rica were made for each other
rico and rica, a rich harbor always needs a rich coast
i'm drunk
>>74784075
kek
>>74775041
They should become a part of Canada for the fucking laffs
>>74784114
That would be an instant 10% increase in the Canadian population.
>>74784071
http://naturalresources.house.gov/newsroom/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=183105
6 seats
>Based on current information, a CRS report projects that the states that could lose an existing seat or not receive an expected additional seat after the 2010 Census in order to provide six of 435 seats to Puerto Rico include: Arizona, Missouri, New York, South Carolina, Texas and Washington.
So probably 4 republican and 2 democratic seats
I'd change it
>>74780145
Highly unlikely it happens considering Puerto Rico is deep in debt and enjoys unparalleled perks being a commonwealth of the US while essentially having to do nothing in return
>>74784155
Well PR only owes debt to Americans.
>>74784114
I'm down
>>74775041
>>74784155
Yeah but its ~70m. That's a big number desu. I also have no idea how are we gonna repay that.
>>74783913
We haven't been a tax haven for a long while, m8. Get your facts straight.
>>74780145
The referendum is in June, and statehood is likely going to win.
>>74784312
Austerity, restructuring, shrinking the govt. and fostering economic growth. Basic economics.
>>74784155
>enjoys unparalleled perks
The only perk of our current status is most people are exempt from paying federal taxes. I'd gladly give that up if it means being on equal footing with the states.
Why doesn't America become a part of Puerto Rico?
Stay cucked boricuas
>>74784155
>while essentially having to do nothing in return
>Hudur they don't pay Federal Icome tax (even thought we pay Federal Payroll)

Majority of the mjlitary infraty is composed of Puerto Ricans. We pay Social Security and Medicaid, while getting crumbs in return
>>74784651
>Majority of the military infantry is composed of Puerto Ricans
I agree with the rest of your post, but where the fuck did you get this from?

There is like a 99 percent chance he's not Dominican, my fellow contextually illiterate American.

Purer rico us a self governing territorie. Since it's not a state yet, it can have a team
>All these retards trying to talk intl politics
It's a fucking baseball tournament. There aren't a lot of good teams and it makes the tournament better to have more good teams.
Go play risk or one of those dumb phone games you basement machiavellis
puerto rico flag is like down snydrome kid drawing america flag from memory

the military is basically the america's form of welfare
>>74775041
>bawww is not fair baww
blame your supreme court jackass. They declared us "Foreign in a domestic sense" that basically means we are a colony and second class citizens who cant vote on elections and dont have the same rights. The trade off is we can represent ourselves as a country in sporting events. Now fuck off OP.
>>74784651
By percentage we have done our part since WW1 deosnt mean that figure is true though.
