Unless you mean like... Guam and Puerto Rico. Who actually, becoming states first requires them to vote for it.
Which, they won't because quite honestly, the state they're in right now is way better.
Tons of federal money and almost all the benefits of being a US citizen while paying zero federal taxes.
The only major downside is they can't vote in a lot of federal elections... and considering the assholes running.... I'd give up my vote for a tax free year in a heart beat. |
So to you, 3.7 million american citizens that live in Puerto Rico are not important?
We have voted to end our current "commonwealth" status and move towards statehood, what has the US done? Nothing.
We don't get tons and tons of federal money because we don't get most benefits a normal citizen does.
We can't vote in a single federal election. Have in mind we currently have more population(which means more political power) than 21 states and that's because we've lost a lot of population and states have increased a lot, in the past we used to have more population than 28 or so states.
