Face, Greg, you got caught again espousing your uninformed opinion as the final word on yet another topic you obviously didn't research.  Grand pronouncement that "hundreds" of scientists favor the use of Nazi "research" just as obviously isn't true...

My points are that DC statehood is probably unconstitutional, although I am not sure that is settled.  Adding PR as a state is neither radical nor leftist, assuming we follow the Constitutional prescription.  I never said whether I personally favor PR statehood or not.  What is so hard for you to understand?

So then by taking them on as a state, we now straddle taxpaying Americans when nearly half of their citizens might just go on the public dole and we get to subsidize them now even MORE than we already do at $22 Billion per year or so. 

Since so many of their citizens are living below the poverty line, we will now be aiding them EVEN MORE.

We certainly need that, don't we now? 

Crime is rampant there. 

So the poverty and crime rate there is through the roof.  That sounds great doesn't it?

Why don't we add Liberia as a state?  I imagine you can see no reason why we shouldn't take on Liberia?  After all, they have a long tie to us from waaaaaay back when. "
