But Puerto Rico is a Republican leaning state

>>27840042

1. The area desiring Statehood first petitions Congress for admission.

2. If and when Congress chooses, it passes an enabling act, which directs the framing of a proposed State constitution.

3. A convention prepares the constitution, which is then put to a popular vote in the proposed State.

4. If the voters approve the constitution, it is then submitted to Congress for its consideration.

5. If Congress still agrees to Statehood after reviewing the document, it passes an act of admission.

6. If the President signs the act, the new State enters the union.

Status in the island favors:
Statehood by 63.00%

Independence by 4.92%

Governor:
Alejandro Garcia (PPD): 47.74%
Luis Fortuño (PNP): 47.28%
Juan Dalmau (PIP): 2.47%

Even if Statehood wins, basically we give the permission to a non-voting Puerto Rican Congressman to beg the majority of Congresspeople to let them be included in legislation and become then a state.

This. As an American immigrant in Canada, I mean, I speak English, but adaptation's hard enough.

Drug laws are fucked up in America. They don't help, end up having kids turn to spiked drugs and really harmful ones, and get even more damaged then they would be on drugs from the prescriptions and pills the influx of unqualified psychiatrists put on them.

My Geology professor said there was a good chance of there being another fuck huge tsunami in Japan in the next year or so, maybe they'll like us so much for saving their asses again that they'll want to become a state.

I wouldn't be surprised if the lobbyists who pushed for Puerto Rico to become a state weren't hired by the flag manufacturers of America whose flag sales have stagnated over the past several years in order to sell new redesigned flags to countless schools and businesses all over the country.

Democratic Party 2012 Platform

We commit to moving resolution of the status issue forward with the goal of resolving it expeditiously. If local efforts in Puerto Rico to resolve the status issue do not provide a clear result in the short term, the President should support, and Congress should enact, self-executing legislation that specifies in advance for the people of Puerto Rico a set of clear status options, such as those recommended in the White House Task Force Report on Puerto Rico, which the United States is politically committed to fulfilling.[156]

Republican Party 2012 Platform

We support the right of the United States citizens of Puerto Rico to be admitted to the Union as a fully sovereign state after they freely so determine. We recognize that Congress has the final authority to define the constitutionally valid options for Puerto Rico to achieve a permanent non-territorial status with government by consent and full enfranchisement. As long as Puerto Rico is not a state, however, the will of its people regarding their political status should be ascertained by means of a general right of referendum or specific referenda sponsored by the U.S. government.[157][158]
