Megalol.. more pot smoking, poor people with dark skin in the States? I think we all know what the House of Representatives (Republicans) will vote.. |
They'll say... "Hooray go Puerto Rico!" and vote yes overwhelmingly.
Puerto Rico has A Republican Gov.
To quote the Republican Platform for this election...
"We support the right of the United States citizens of Puerto Rico to be admitted to the Union as a fully sovereign state if 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."
If antyhing the Democrats would block it unless DC becomes a state... which it really shouldn't. At best it should be folded into virginia.
