Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

So, where will that leave Puerto Rican people? Puerto Rico is part of the Untied States but the people look foreign
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.
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.
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.
Come one man, you know where because it's already happening.
Puerto Rican? Mexican.
Mediterranean? Mexican.
Native American? Mexican.
We have the whitest populace cause of jail.
Dude, as an Asian American I've had quite a few times I've been called a Mexican.
German? Believe it or not, Mexican.
Irish? Also Mexican.
