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.

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.
