They're probably right wing because they're taxed to **** without any of the returns that statehood would get them.

Dude. They’re OBSESSED with unborn children. That’s all it is. They’re Catholic morons. Abortion is their Castro. They’re completely single issue on it. Their culture sucks. It’s homophobic and ****ing anti anything fun. We should just give them independence and wash our hands. Good riddance.

Sounds like they'd fit right in

If they want they can come here and spread out in Florida and Texas but **** if I’m going to support two more republican senators.

That's fine, it's not like individual opinion has any impact on the public.

the staggered approach is probably the way to go, but damn they're obviously not in any hurry

If it can’t get done politically without staggering it then yeah. If it can just be passed with a simple majority like it can be it ought to be $70 an hour tomorrow.

And really even that is way too low.

$500 makes everyone a millionaire which is still more than fair considering there’s a thousand millions in a billion

The real legislation they need to pass is that no human being can earn more than three times the minimum wage. I mean, if you can’t live on three times what you expect another person to live on you’re a seriously greedy piece of **** pig.

I don't think they'll become a state anyway cause 1) half the people there don't want it and 2) they're brown so a lot of people here won't want it regardless of their politics. Plus the crime rate down there is through the roof... Not something we would be too eager to have to try to tackle. We already have Chicago and Baltimore and we can't even solve the gang problems in our own cities.
