Well, there’s a push to push this HR 2499. I see it as part of a four pronged plan that I see to really change the environment here in the United States of America. Amnesty for people who are here illegally, voting rights for criminals and felons. They wanted D.C. voting rights, something, got this little thing called the Second Amendment got in the way. They weren’t willing to put it forward, but they certainly wanted to do something I believe was unconstitutional and give Washington D.C. voting rights. And now this 2499, which is the Puerto Rico statehood bill which is being pushed by the new progressive party in Puerto Rico trying to create a federally sanctioned; that is, a U.S. sanctioned vote that they say is nonbinding but would give them the legitimacy to then come back and try to seat people in the United States congress.

Congressman Jason Chaffetzof Utah, Glenn Beck: The 51st State?
Idk if y’all subscribe to Glenn Beck’s email newsletter (which, uh, I definitely do because I am really into talk radio as an institution) but I thought this discussion was kind of interesting. I have become really interested in PR over the last few months and I am intrigued both by this discussion and HR 2499.
Honestly, having read the whole thing, I can’t even see why anyone in the United States would be upset about PR wanting to be a state (if they even want to be a state) unless the prob is more brown people who can vote for national reps and president.
