Now that Puerto Rice voted to become a state will it happen. I think everyone knew this was coming because each time it was voted on it got closer and closer to becoming a reality. I think Obama will give them what they want and allow them to become a state in the near future.

No thanks. We can't even afford the 50 states we currently have.

If Puerto Rico is made a state before DC, I think DC will revolt.
Hell, there are a ton of pubs around here called 51st state.
Add them both I say.

Why not just add Iraq and Afghanistan as well? Next we can add Syria and Iran to your global empire. :rolleyes:ptown_trojans_1;1315332 wrote:If Puerto Rico is made a state before DC, I think DC will revolt.

It's not the president's call to make. It must be passed by the House and Senate.sportchampps;1315315 wrote:Now that Puerto Rice voted to become a state will it happen.
