Statehood for Puerto Rico and its purpose

     Listening to Quinn and Rose this morning. The resolution that just passed in the House, Quinn says, is "non-binding" but written to put the issue before the Puerto Ricans in such a confusing way that they will end up voting for statehood, even though they have voted it down 3 times previously. Quinn says the issue is this: if Puerto Rico gains statehood, the Dems will get 2 more senators and 6-7 more House members. They will also be eligible for government welfare, etc., but will have to pay taxes. Another issue is that English is not the primary language in Puerto Rico.
     Combine this effort with the effort to give citizenship to illegal aliens and you can see where we are headed. 
     Remember also that the Dems would like to return the vote to felons, who are, after all, natural Dem constituents.
     So the free loading is something Dems are trying to inculcate so deeply into the system that conservative principles will be forever undermined.
     We need to be talking to our reps and senators again.
