Thread: Bipartisan Bill Seeks To Make Puerto Rico The 51st U.S. State

The problem with such a plan is no one on the island now will want to stay until that is done in twenty years. It will turn into a Silicon Valley where only the rich can afford to live there and those lower income workers would have to live in their cars.

No, two different Americans! Those who love this country and those who would tear it down and destroy it trying to make it like the country they came from. And those like you who support such dissidents.

Yes you drew a conclusion based on what you now admit was a limited view. It is kind of like the tour you get in North Korea, Cuba, even China, where the guide keeps you from the real country.

Yet you made it an issue!

Beezer, you seen me, Do I look Caucasian or tribal mix?

You look Caucasian, beautiful cute girl Wish I knew you when I was in CA, we would have had fun!



It is sad that PR has had all these problems with corruption and the hurricanes. It will take a long time to recover from this and money to rebuild is a big issue along with the massive debt incurred by the corrupt politicians I just do not want our taxpayer dollars to pay for it, so there has to be another way.

We have the same thing here with corrupt Democrats, Flint water, Jerry Brown, NYC is a dump, Detroit, Chicago, many cities in disrepair are bankrupt. There is a lot of waste, fraud and abuse of our money. Then disaster hits and we foot the bill to fix their incompetence. Yet the want to FLOOD our borders with more uneducated people that cost us billions. More foreign workers, putting their own citizens out of work.

These Governor's and Mayor's need to be held accountable for their policies and some sort of audit on what they are doing with taxpayer money. We all lose!
