Why? How does that change anything? What needs to happen is for Jeff Sessions to frog march the Puerto Rican govt to jail cells for dereliction of duty. The people of Puerto Rico need to stand up for themselves, and hold local officials accountable. Puerto Rico receives $21B in aid annually, WTF are they doing with it? Where's the infrastructure, where's the power grid???? Some govt people down there need to be prosecuted and receive the death penalty.
The educated people from PR has been leaving the commonwealth since the 1950's to the mainland. Second, most of the governments of PR have been conservatives that believe if it becomes a state, the people will pay higher taxes. You can be a resident of PR, and born there, and do not pay any federal taxes. If you leave PR, and come to the mainland, like Florida pays federal taxes. If you do not pay federal taxes, the federal government is not going to spend money in the commonwealth. If it becomes the 51st state, the federal government will spend money in the state and businesses will come to PR and make it the next Hawaii in 40 years.
