        Today while 20% chose Statehood, 80% chose to boycott the process. A resounding defeat. Who then represents Puerto Rico?

        Speech is a right, if you dont talk you are not heard. Voting is another right. If you dont vote, you are not heard.

        Territories: SUB-NATIONAL administrative divisions directly overseen by Fed (states share sovereignty w/ Fed). #PuertoRico: UNINCORPORATED.

        Jones-Shafroth Act of 1917 established that Puerto Rican's are recognized as American citizens.

        Wrong, right or indifferent, that is DoneDeal. From perspective of 50 States, what's the argument for conferring statehood on #PuertoRico?

        Citizens in PR will have to pay federal taxes if they become a state, so it's mutually beneficial.

        Statehood for #PuertoRico is "mutually beneficial" like whether #Comey or Trump is the liar comes down to a coin-toss.

        Nope. Not a coin toss in either case. Statehood = mutually beneficial. Trump = liar. Look how easy that was.
