When states are admitted into the Union, normally another state of the opposite persuasion is admitted to keep things balanced. This could be the opportunity to create another red state in the Pacific Northwest, Jefferson, or Lincoln. In the long run that could be good for Whites.

There's a proposal to do that, but one state would be solid blue and the other would be a 'swing state'. But with changing demographics San Diego and the Orange Valley won't be Republican strongholds into the future, so that would be self-defeating. We'd be better off with a solid red state.

Shouldn't we (the American people/other 50 states) be voting for that? What you guys are dead broke and want us to bail you out?

US congress would have to approve, and it's not likely they would let them become a state.

I like Styx take on this one. Let them in and be good about it they could end up being a swing state if you don't act stinny about it.

Puerto Rico voted in 2012 to become a state. Congress did nothing on that one either. I expect they won't on this one. Voter participation was very low and it is obvious they want the US just to absorb their debt. I doubt many who voted for it realize their taxes will skyrocket as they pay no federal income taxes right now.
