Sometimes, I don’t even know why the state option is popular in Puerto Rico. It definitely is; they’ve had two official but non-binding referendum on this in the recent past, and the statehood option was a clear winner. Won by good margins over both maintaining current status or going independent.
Ultimately, I think it should be up to the people of PR to decide what they want to do, but geeze, this isn’t a great time to join the Union.
They made a huge mistake with POTUS the first time by not sending their children to felate him when he showed up to throw paper towels after hurricane Maria.
The only way for Puerto Rico to become a state is if they all turned Republican and white.

To be fair, they’re already part of the Union whether they want to or not, it’s more a matter of if they get to have political representation or not.
Are you saying they are experiencing taxation without representation?
As are Guam and American Samoa (they don’t have birthright citizenship)
Soon, nobody will have birthright citizenship.
