Puerto Rico wants to become the 51st state of the US

Voters in Puerto Rico have supported a non-binding referendum to become a full US state.

The measure will require approval from the US Congress, but President Barack Obama has said he will respect the vote.

Great idea. 3 million more socialist voters in the voting booths.

2 more Rat Senators and another 1 million Rat votes, and 3 million more on the dole, what could go wrong?

A whole state of welfare recipients.

But you have to understand that “Hispanics” are among the largest law breakers in America

No, I am not racist, but today - I’m starting to feel a wee bit “racist leaning”.

He is affiliated with the New Progressive Party of Puerto Rico (PNP) and the United States Democratic Party, thus a socialist in Freeperville.
