"Mi pueblo se muere de ambre..."My country dies of starvation...Who wrote that, better yet who said that?! Statehood is letting the hooded ones inflict more damage to our nation! Yes, the US takes more in Social Security and returns a fraction- a small fraction. Tell that to my grandmother whom lives with $300 a month. Do you want the same people giving jobs out to illegal latinos and ignoring Puerto Ricans their right to employment, to come into Puerto Rico and do the same?! Yes, would like me to continue in this damaging past that has lead our people to come to the US and have to return because Americans hate Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans?! Please only the young are so naive not to seek the advise of their fore-fathers! Think, produce and find your own national way of getting this evil monkey off our backs! And bendicion, que viva Puerto Rico Libre!!!!!!

Granting statehood to Puerto Rico isnt a good idea to other americans because they do not know the facts. I live in the territory and am in favor of statehood. The island have been a U.S. possesion for more than 100 years since it was ocupied by the U.S. army after the spanish seced the island at the end of the Spanish-American War before the turn of the century. Congress granted u.s. citizenship in the 1917. Today more than 4 millions americans live in a modern version of a colony wanting to gain first class citizenship by selecting to be a state. Imagine if Floridad never became a state just because people there spoke spanish as their fist laguage and if economics is the case P.R. contributes more than it share to the Union plus in operations in Iraq and other part of the world the P.R. National Guard and reserve soldiers participated as any other State in the effort. It is a shame that the nation leading the free world into a more democratic system cannot clean its own back yard.

Allow statehood for PR, DC, VI, and Guam and you get 54 stars, 9x6. There ya go. 
 
Fun fact: DC gets $6 for every dollar it gives out in taxes. For a place that has taxation without representation they sure as hell get the most benefit ;).
