Puerto Rico is part of America; tax money will head that way for relief. If they want to come stateside, they are more than free to do so. There are probably several states that will make accommodations as well.

If they'd just vote for fucking statehood, we could be done with the damned drama.

We'd be taking on a tremendous amount of debt and a continued commitment to further debt.

And it would just mean more votes for Democrats, which is never a good thing.

tbh, if a country is offering you a massive bailout and a continued commitment to fund you, why wouldn't you agree?

I mean Puerto Rican's are US citizens so they aren't refugees. They are free to come over and stay in shelters while their island recovers, just like people in Huston and Florida did.

Well they've denied statehood every other time it was put to a vote, so there's that.

It's only really bad in some areas of Puerto Rico. My friends who live there all said their neighborhoods were relatively fine, trees down, broken windows, leaky roofs, broken garage doors but nothing worse than that.

Isn't the entire island without power, possibly for months?

Oh man I suppose so. When I talked to my two friends there it was only about 12 hours after the storm hit, and their power was out at the time, talking on their phones. I knew power was out for the whole island but didn't realize how permanent of a scenario it is. Neither did they at the time.

Yeah if they don't have power for weeks or months that is pretty drastic.

But I mean physically them and their homes were okay.

Also to be fair both of them are relatively middle-class people, and probably have much sturdier homes and live in better located neighborhoods than the majority of the population of Puerto Rico.

Just going out on a limb and pointing out that Puerto Ricans are just as American as the rest of us are.

I wish we could offer Guam and Samoa a combined statehood and get to 52 on the flag. 4x13 + the 13 stripes would be a perfect flag.
