Puerto Rico the 51st state

  • sportchampps
    Now that Puerto Rice voted to become a state will it happen. I think everyone knew this was coming because each time it was voted on it got closer and closer to becoming a reality. I think Obama will give them what they want and allow them to become a state in the near future.

    No thanks. We can't even afford the 50 states we currently have.

    If Puerto Rico is made a state before DC, I think DC will revolt.
    Hell, there are a ton of pubs around here called 51st state.

    Add them both I say.

    Why not just add Iraq and Afghanistan as well? Next we can add Syria and Iran to your global empire. :rolleyes:

    Yes, the old tried and true. I guess you never said anything by mistake, you must be perfect.

    It's not the president's call to make. It must be passed by the House and Senate.
