Legislation Promotes Statehood for Puerto Rico

The Democrats really want to ruin our country, don't you think? This smacks of Al Gore helping illegal immigrants to become citizens if they promise to vote Democrat, and it stinks.

"Glaringly obvious is that Democrats in Congress who are speedily pushing this bill through would like nothing better than to have Puerto Rico admitted to the Union with the probability of picking up more democratic seats. Because of Puerto Rico’s population, they could pick up many electoral votes as well, since more than 22 other states have smaller populations, which could in turn swing an election.

This approach of voting first and answering questions later is exactly backwards.

What the people might not be realizing is once statehood is granted to them any dream of independency they once cherished would be lost to them; they would be permanently tied to the economic, political, social and religious climate of the United States."
