>They aren't white! I don't want browns!They already are citizens and can freely move anywhere in the US. Them being a territory or state has no bearing on the "Browness" of America. Also people used this same argument for New Mexico and Hawaii and it wasn't convincing then either.>They're le heckin' poor!So is Mississippi. But being a state would help PR and give full access to federal funding. All territories made great economic gains after statehood>Dey gon be dem demonrats!Puerto Rico would instantly become the most devoutly Christian state in the Union. They're actually going to be purple as they elected dem/rep governors all the time. Their politics and their parties are all based on status. I predict they will be a swing state in governmental politics and congressional politics, and lean slightly dem in pres politics under the current milleu. Puerto Rico has more people than:Wyoming, Vermont, Alaska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Delaware, Montana, Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire, Hawaii, Idaho, West VirginiaIt's simply time. Territories were never meant to remain territories forever. I believe PR should become a state. Guam and CNMI should merge and become a state. USVI and American Samoa should probably remain as is for now for reasons I can explain if you want.
>>526033731Because the powers that be spent half a century fostering an environment that perpetuates the current status quo, as it is most beneficial to them.
Taxes
conquered brownoids don't deserve a say, especially when their musical taste is so shitty
Too racist
>>526033947Well 2028 will be the chance to say FUCK PROMESA and get statehood for you guys. I'm excited for that opportunity
>>526033731Is this who I think it is?
>>526034093.t boomer upset Bad Bunny is playing the Super Bowl. I don't know him super well, but some of his songs listen pretty good. He's a good Catholic boy, give him a break.
>>526034173Nothing will happen.Nothing ever happens.
>>526034251???
>>526034327GOP got rid of filibuster for SCOTUS appointments. Dems can get rid of filibuster specifically for state admissions. All it would take is majority in both chambers and president's signature.
>>526034307autotuned mumbling over german polka music and 808s is pretty trashdon't watch handegg but nobody will ever touch Prince
>>526034307>listening to shittyass caribbean negro mulatto music just to own the chuds
>>526034446They won't do it, becauseA: It would mean backtracking on their 'self-determination' narrative.B: There is no decisive, binding mandate from Puerto Rico itself.C: Our current status is more beneficial to the US in general.
>>526033731It's too small to be a state on its own. Puerto Rico has to wait until we take over Cuba. Then it can be made a county of Cuba and come in as a state with them.
>>526033731because they are fucking monkeys
>>526034331I feel like I know you.
>>526034469Polka is based. Salsa is based. I'm not a huge Bad Bunny fan but there is worse music out there. From what little I know about him, he doesn't seem like some thug retard so I appreciate that.>>526034493I listen to French, English, and Spanish music. Why limit yourself?
>>526034589>It would mean backtracking on their 'self-determination' narrative.No it wouldn't. No official referendum is needed. They can use the past results of referendums and the PNP success to show popular support. >There is no decisive, binding mandate from Puerto Rico itself.Not needed. All you would need is PR's legislature to petition the federal gov which is totally doable with the PNP in control of the house, senate, and governorship.>Our current status is more beneficial to the US in general.Not really. You could say this about any territory at any time. >>526034919From where?
>>526033731America is a twisted declining gay empire hellhole with no morals so there's no point in joining them anymore. China is where it's at. I hope Trump finally give us independence so we can unite with China to make Puerto Rico Great Again and showing those wetbacks Yankee illegal aliens there's greener pastures outside of their gay influence.
>>526035206>They can use the past results of referendumsNon-binding and with record-low turnouts. Worthless.>Not needed.It is, because we're the ones who live here.>Not really.Yes really.
Do you trust them to provide two senators?I don’t trust most of the traditional 13 colonies to appoint two competent senators, and you want Puerto Fucking Rico to join in that party?
>>526035392Join with a country that litetally bans Jesus, very smart and I'm sure that will work out well for all involved. I mean I'm not saying Statehood is the best path for you guys, but c'mon... China?
>>52603373150 states is a nice round number
Tax Haven So basically a plantation
>>526033731>Why aren't they a state?they are, just like the rest of south Spickmerica
>>526035528Morality does not come from Jews. Nice try, Schlomo. You can shove your inverted morality up your aids ridden ass ok?
>>526033731We're giving them to Denmark for Greenland.
>>526035414>Non-binding and with record-low turnouts. Worthless.Doesn't matter. It can still be used. And the fact that PNP controls the government too. >It is, because we're the ones who live here.It says nowhere in the constitution you need a binding referendum to admit states. You just need a petition from the territorial government. >Yes really.It depends on your view of America. For me having such a large population not able to participate in our democracy calls into question our legitimacy as a country thus weakening us.
Was this true?
>>526035206Me swamp.
>>526033731>They already are citizens and can freely move anywhere in the USWhat? Does Trump know about it? We need to stop it immediately and send them all back.
>>526033731they arent part of the continental usa, alaska and hawai are strange with that logic but anything after the spanish american war and specially if its not in the continent should be an explotation c0olony, not even citizenship
>>526035750Taiwan for PR is better for you. Taiwan >>>>>>> Greenland.
>>526035761Idiot. PNP along all the political parties want to keep the current grift as all political parties in Puerto Rico are based on the political status of the Island.
>>526033731THEY WON'T BE ALLOWED TO DEFAULT ON THEIR DEBT. THEY MUST PAY.
>>526033731They don't want to pay taxes
>>526035761>And the fact that PNP controls the government too.Elected by a whole 36% of the vote. Worthless.>You just need a petition from the territorial government. Which will issue it only after receiving a mandate from the people, if they know what's good for them.>not able to participate in our democracyThe alternative is more expensive, and thus less beneficial. That's how it works.
>>526035834>Cletus just found out something that's been a thing since 1917Kek
>>526035956To who? Jews?
>>526033731Those stupid seaniggers don't speak english.
>>526035834Yes. Please, ask for independence for PR ok? It is in your interest that your great moral and white country remains white and corrupt free Puertorricans! Ask for Independence!
>>526033731They are lazy. A perpetual 15% unemployment.
>>526035392>China is where it's at.China is a colony of JEWsa since the 50s, all the industry there belongs to WASP and the (((juice))) >>526035528>Join with a country that litetally bans Jesusso just like Kikemerica the whole narrative that China is an enemy of the US, is a fassade-ploy for MIGAtarded shabbos-goysthe same goes with the cold "war" that never existed due to the exact same reason jews always need an imaginary boogieman to keep the population away from the real problems
>>526035807This is true and is one of the reasons Elon Musk does not want PR to be a state. I'm sure Elon is on the Epstein list.
>>526033731sorry to tell you this but most of the Puerto Rican people moved to the States some decade ago,there are more puertoricans in Newyork then on the island itself now, the only ones left on the island are literally old people with land and poors that cant leave,on top of this the old people that did leave that still had land are selling it to Americans who will actually use it either for new houses or what have you because they can't maintain it while in the states.tldr there is no point
>>526033731>no U.S. federal income tax>free U.S. protection>no labor laws>no tariffs because "made in USA"Jews don't want to queer the sweet deal with "statehood".
>>526033731.dont let it be a state if it's slightly dem in politics.Let's say, you believe that the more people in it, the more electoral votes there are, right? If you believe that it is a slightly dem in Prez politics then no.>muh Christian state!You argue about Christianity, let me remind you that /pol/ is a Far Right /nsg/ (non-groyper) board, not my interest.According to the constitution, being a territory doesn't mean full access as a citizen. The free travel thing can easily be revoked.
>>526036272That's exactly the reason the US coup Maduro within 12 hours of Xi being in Venezuela and Russia sending destroyers to Venezuela right? Because China is a US colony. Right.
>>526033731They are all leftoids, we don't need 2 more senators from Puerto Rico
>>526036604>According to the constitution, being a territory doesn't mean full access as a citizen.No, that's what my social security number is for.
>>526036717>Russia sending destroyers to Venezuela right?we didn't send shit to Venezuela, Putin had dropped Venezuela before the American invasion, which is for the good read less nafoid delusional shittery
>>526034251Who do you think it is
>>526034307>handegg enjoyer
>>526038074Handegg is cool, fuck you.
>>526034307>.t boomerit has nothing to do with agelistening niggerjew-rap for a zoomer is as shameful & cringy as for anyone else
>>526035698I'm not mad at you, I felt the same way as you in the past. You will wake up to Christ's love one day, as many do. Many famous outspoken atheists like Scott Adams find God later in life.Jesus is real and he loves you. Close your eyes and think about it, you might not feel it now but you will one day.
>>526033731>tfw no puerto rican gfwhy live
>>526038612The best example, bar none, of why God does not exist is Americans: the very people who claim to be God’s greatest emissaries are among the most despotic and evil humans of their era. There's no god and if there is he is not with the US or it's twisted evil people and unlike gods chosen and its dogs I rather be a Chinese slave than changing my morality to become another lowly American filth.
>>526033731It will be part of the new republic of Cubafornia, the 56th state
