Ahh yes, racism seen right here on C-D. Why am I not surprised? Disgusting thread.
PR is US owned and it’s up to us to take care of it somehow. If you don’t want it, then why still hold on to it. To call it outright a cesspool and garbage is un-American. Guess you’re just echoing bigoted Trump’s words.
Not until those deadbeats start building houses to code and get rid of the rampant liberal corruption infesting the place.
"U.S. citizens who have lived all year on the island are exempt from filing taxes to the federal government of the United States as long as all of your income was from Puerto Rican sources only. However, if you receive income from anywhere else in the world, including the United States and/or if you are an employee of any agency of the United States in Puerto Rico, you must submit a form to the federal government. So you shouldn’t file a tax return for the U.S. if you meet either of the following requirements:
You’re a bona fide resident of Puerto Rico during the entire tax year, and
Your only income is from sources within Puerto Rico."
And this proves my point in other threads about racism against the Latino community- right here folks. Typed on CD .
Have you even been to Puerto Rico? There is nothing at all about the island that would make it a good additional US state. There are shanty towns all over the island filled with squatters who don't speak English. Except for the tourist areas, nothing is built to US building codes. Puerto Rico will never be another Hawaii.
America just can't afford to take on Puerto Rico as a state. Trying to fix that island and turn it into a First World quality island would require more money and effort than trying to fix Baltimore or Detroit.

Why hasn't Puerto Rico been made a state? Does the U.S really need another state?
No and especially not Puerto Rico. It is a hot mess of corruption and the best thing for the USA would grant them complete independence from us.
