>But in many ways, Puerto Rico has now moved closer to statehood than ever before. Last November, the island held its fourth-ever plebiscite, a nonbinding referendum on the island's political status. For the first time, a majority of Puerto Rican voters opted in favor of becoming a state.
From what I'm reading most of the population currently want's statehood because it would encourage businesses from the US to set up shop. The issue being that the government in power wants a type of special snowflake status that the US has outright said it would never agree to. governing.com/topics/politics/gov-does-puerto-rico-really-want-to-be-51st-state.html
So what's up? Who can update me on the current status of Puerto Rico?
It has always been shit, but now even worse with the PDP running the island and getting people on welfare. The taxes are also super high. Many doctors and scientists have actually left the shit hole to get better opportunities in the states. The best thing for the island to do is to become a state but that's a problem since it will just be another blue state for the democrats.

We're a shithole, don't mind us.
Joseph Morales
I lived next to a Puerto Rican family for a few months. Great people, could not be more friendly, and always cooking delicious food but I have to ask...what is the deal with your music? Every song has the same reggaeton beat. Wouldn't it be okay to switch it up once in awhile??
Nolan Anderson
What the fuck is Puerto Rico? How did it become part of USA and at the same time it didn't?
William Gomez
It was a territory from way back. Like Guam, Virgin Islands, and samoa.
Andrew Martin
Puerto Rico doesn't want to become a state largely because there is no corporate tax and no income tax there. Yes, they would start getting more funds and aid but the rich people there don't want to ruin their golden ticket.
Nathan Gomez

Cameron Rodriguez
And we don't want them to be a state as it is a shithole filled with shitty people who love government all up in their lives and a government that is nothing but a financial drain. PR has no benefit for us as a state, they should be an independent nation.
John Rodriguez
That seems to correlate with why the politicians aren't cooperating with the desires of the public. Are the citizens apathetic or are there any real movements for statehood. I personally don't care as I live in Texas and hold on the delusional mindset that we will be leaving the union any day now.
Have some animu
Justin Morgan
The only reason keeping Puerto Rico afloat right now is the USD with the help of the Federal Government. The little that gets produced and shipped out gets taxed to hell, and there's way too many people on welfare. Our government is full of thieves that have no interest to help anyone but themselves. Everyone here is a goddamn leftist just as this user said . Jesus Christ, just put us out of our goddamn misery.
Thomas Richardson
Puerto Rican in the US here.
Yeah
William Carter
It's in a good location for a military base in the Caribbean desu~
Nicholas Butler
PR needs to pay off its debts first, we aint taking on their bullshit.
Isaac Hernandez
Is it safe?
Pic probably related to your situation
Jaxon Garcia
I hate to say it, but you're completely right. These idiots love big government. All they want is to keep sucking on the lovely welfare tit until it dies. PR becoming independent would be a very nice wakeup call for all of those leeches. Completely apathetic, everyone knows what's going on, but no one ever riles up to combat them. Then again, the majority is poor people on welfare that rely on the government.
Liam Edwards
The size of the population, and the crime rate is absolutely ridiculous. No way in hell it is safe. It is so bad here that there's a decline in the younger generation because they're fucking killing each other.
Jordan Myers
fuck puerto rico
and puerto ricans even harder
Joseph Fisher
they don't want/can't learn english
James Murphy
It's as if muricans can't stop themselves from black dick.
Mexico does in fact have lots of black Mexicans. It's just not a meme. yet.
Brody Cooper
Puerto Ricans would build a wall too if they had to deal with you people.
Gabriel Evans
I'm with you kek, fuck Puerto Rico, and Puertoricans even harder This too, for some reason it was allowed that Spanish remained as the primary language, and treat English as a secondary. Which is why only 30% of the people here can speak the language.
Ryan Johnson
>having problem with spanish speaking people not assimilating >have problem with debt >decide to make a territory with lots of debt and hispanic or latino who gives a fuck people a state

Mexico has 450,000 niggers and most are new inmigrants from the Caribe and central America, don't fucking try to lecture me on niggers in my country, i haven't seen one in over 8 years and i have a black friend that is really cute and her family came from Puerto rico.

>Utedes los neglos son uno come mielda Que bueno que una gran porción de los negros se están mudando a México, espero que los disfrutes amigo. Unfortunately, there was a time that it was a thing.
Matthew Parker
Listen Miguel, I know English isn't your first language and it probably took you a while to finish reading my sentence and a half... But that doesn't make it a lecture.
Jayden Lewis
It's less than 30% friendo.
Adrian Long
Oye, ¿Nunca te has encontrado con alguien de esta isla que este a favor de Donald Trump?
Jeremiah Murphy
Fuck off trashone, go get suicided by cops.

Speak the language of the Constitution or you'll be returned to Spain, or worse.
Connor Hernandez
Why? If you guys were (are) the vacation spa of USA besides Hawaii. Why emigrate to a shithole far worse than your own shithole if you can just go to USA??
Xavier Wood
Si. Pero he hablado con pendejos que se creen las cosas que ven en facebook sobre como "Trump nos quitara la ciudadania". Amigos y familia dicen que estan a favor de las cosas que dice sobre los musulmanes pero que 'overall' prefieren a Clinton.
Simplemente no es socialmente aceptable apoyar abiertamente a Trump. Pero si he encontrado a personas.
John Nguyen
Fuck Puerto Rico. Bunch of ugly Mexicans, those spics aren't American.
Ryder Williams
I haven't seen her for over 8 years since i moved from Mexico city and not stepping in that shithole to see a black chick.
Kevin Johnson
We return people to the ocean if we really don't like them.
Caleb Ward
This, Spanish rape babies. ¡ Viva Puerto Rico !
Michael Parker
Actually, if they don't have a passport/proof of citizenship in another country, we can deport people wherever we want to. Guy without ID sneaking over the Canadian border? Sounds like someone just won a surprise trip to Turkmenistan.
Jose Hall
Shut the fuck up. You have a lot of niggers in your country. They infest even the places you dirty, stinky spics won't.
Your infrastructure is crumbling, you guys can't do anything on your own, your people are dumb as fuck
There's literally NOTHING good about your country. You fags pollute and your 'manufacturing' towns are a joke.
Lincoln Foster
When I said there was a time, I meant Pre US colony era. A mi se me a hecho sumamente difícil encontrar gente que apoyen a Trump. Sera por que no estoy en las redes sociales tenga este problemas. Pero en el trabajo, la universidad, y la gente que tengo conversación están en contra.
Joshua Edwards
Quiero añadir que aunque no estén apoyando a Trump, muchos no apoyan a Hillary por que saben que hay algo malicioso en su persona.
Colton Robinson
This Trashican is saltier than cheap tortilla chips. user is just buttfrustrated she doesn't live in a First World nation.
Oh, and BUILD WALL. Lazy fuck. At least Puerto Ricans are hard, competent workers with actual, quantifiable Spanish ancestry.
Isaiah Morgan
Ricans are sssoooo lazy and love to steal shit. Pieces of shit, do not trust. All they want is an easier way to be less lazy and take our aid
Anthony Sanders
I was under the impression that most puerto ricans spoke English. There is a fair amount of them around where i live in ohio for some reason
Julian Rogers
>no corporate tax False >no income tax Only if your job isn't federal.
Jeremiah Turner
It's because they have a system bias towards skin color. The more tative in you the more fucked you are. Castille blood still rules
Wyatt White
That was for Miguelita, not you, fellow American.
Bentley Lopez
No.. No they dont. Maybe the kids but even the parents that have been here for 40 years cant. Shameful
Benjamin Peterson
Because there are a lot of superpowers posing a threat to the US in the Caribbean. Also, we have Florida.
Jayden Watson
You need some english to get by in the states. The poster saying it's 30% probably meant the actual country of PR.
Nicholas Hernandez
Most of them do.
Christopher Myers
Dumb fucking nigger, learn to quote someone before you shitpost.
Asher Gonzalez
I understood user
Ryder Bailey
I wish we would just cut Puerto Rico loose for good. We shouldn't keep holding their fucking hand.
Anthony Scott
Puerto Rican here
Puerto Rico will never become a state until it has something to offer aside from tourism
which is probably never, too many puerto ricans are no better than niggers with their lazy gibs medat mentality
>tfw no puerto rican cultural cleansing movement ala Pinochet
Cuba wasn't a superpower and it made us collectively shit our pants.
Michael Bailey
We have bigger issues with retarded foreign investments.
Eli Scott
*russia
Jackson Barnes
Are you talking about the private investments in Puerto Rico? Because they can deal with that shit on their own.
Eli Brooks
You are definitely one salty tortilla chip, Miguelita.
How do you get Internet access in your little village? Do the cartels provide free Wi-Fi to you in return for sexual services, puta? That's great - I can appreciate how hard you have it being a Mestiza in a White Man's world.
Carter Allen
No, I meant giving countries like Isreal billions of taxpayer dollars for... existing?
