Iirc, there was a vote in Puerto Rico in the last couple of years concerning them becoming our 51st State. Although some of the residents wanted to become part of the US, the majority rejected it for one sole reason: They didn't want to have to pay taxes.

I would support an ultimatum: become a state or secure your independence. I have little concern either way. I just think this "half-pregnant" thing is unacceptable.

Considering their pathetic size that's an OUTRAGEOUS number. Anyone with children and grandchildren should be ashamed at what this nation is doing to future generations. It's shameful and dishonorable. It's sinful as a matter of fact.
