Why isn't Puerto Rico a state?

Might be hard at the beginning but we'll be ok

First ordere , Spain you owed us have your military

Next pudding we a couple of those things, third no other raise only people that could trainer on new weapons we got

Good. Night. Exelkent. Documentary...of. Puertorico. ...puetorico. State. Now. Now❤

Not. Independence. Yes. State. Win. State. ...

I pray to God that Puerto Rico NEVER NEVER NEVER becomes a state. I pray that we got back to our agriculture our culture to remember who we are and where we come from to fight for our freedom. We don't need the crumbs the U.S gives us. We can be free and sustain ourselves.

I understand the young and the history they be presented with.
But we use to have a great economy.
Puerto Rico was on top even tough we was not a State.
Thanks to the 936 tax exemption for foreign companies.
Every one had money and food in the table.
But Rosello father destroy our economy by ending the 936.
like crazy voters voted for Trump.
crazy Boricuas voted for Rosello.
it use to be free hospital for those who can not paid.
that was gone.
Rosello kill our economy.
and we continue making the wrong choices today.
I feel sad for my Boricuas.
very sad.
we don't use our brains.

Puerto Rico has a lot of natural resources and potential to rebuild and to become an independent State.

Porque.los malditos políticos y los gobiernos se ROBAN el $ dinero del.pueblo

Cuándo van a entender de una vez y por todas. Que el partido republicano no quiere a Puerto Rico cómo estado 51.

Una islita de 100 mi × 135 mi un estado de la nación americana
wow ! ! como que se olle gracioso
no 😅😂😂😅😊

Yes I support I am a Forma marine, I'm proud to serve the u. SI am from Puerto Rico. I am from biga Baha.

PR will never be a state. We are little as hell, but have a lot of people. We would end up with more representatives than 14 states.

It will never happen.

Yo no creeo que tu seas muy estadista pero cuando lo logremos te texteo.

Puerto Rico has several problems to conquer, before it becomes a U.S.A. State.

1–Not all, but many Americans classify Puerto Ricans as non-white. The same goes for Latinos; they are all classified as brown people.
2–Right now we have a president, Trump, which has Nazi tendencies and believe in white Supremacy.
3–Puerto Rico is a poor country, in other words, a burden economically to the U.S.A.j
4–Puerto Rico has a higher population, I think than Rhode Island, therefore, it will have more congressmen than some states.
5–English will be the official language, and many of us, even if bilingual, do want Spanish to be our vernacular. Most of us, probably all of us, have a Spanish ancestor who planted our love for Spain and its language.

It is a matter of identity:
For example:
—my paternal grandfather came to P.R. in1880 from Mallorca, Spain
—he married my paternal grandmother, whose father was a gallego
—my maternal grandfather was the son of a couple from Gran Canaria
—my maternal grandmother was the grand- daughter of a Spaniard who came to the island from Madrid during the Carlist ‘s War.
Where do I fit? I also have Italian, French, Portuguese, Celt, and
Basques ancestors.
My granddaughters, are also British, Irish and Scottish. Where we all identify? The culture that prevails in my house, is the Puerto Rican culture. Why, because it was my duty as Abuela, to instill in my children and grandchildren the love for my small, but beautiful island, to teach them our history and also teach them of our ancestors.

I am sure that there must be a Taino male or female , way back, if not, yo soy Boricua de sangre y corazon. That the identity of my soul.

BECOMING A STATE WOULD BE THE DEATH TOLL OF THE ISLAND . THE BLIND WANTS TO BE SUPPORTED BY THE BENEFITS , BUT IN REALITY IS THE FEAR THEY SOLD US OF LOSING THAT DEPENDENCE WHAT KEEP US SUBJUGATED . ALL THE MONEY THAT GOES TO THE STATES FROM PR IS ASTRONOMICAL IT REEKS IN BILLIONS OF DOLLARS , WHILE IN RETURN GIVES THE ISLAND SCRAPS . WE ARE SUPPORTING THEM , IT'S BEEN LIKE THAT FOR OVER A HUNDRED YEARS . THEY SABOTAGED ANY THOUGHTS OF INDEPENDENCE BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO GIVE UP THEIR CASH COW . THE POLICIES THEY MADE IS TO MAKE PUERTORICANS LEAVE THE ISLAND , THEY WANT PUERTO RICO BUT WITHOUT PUERTORICANS .

What can Puerto Rico contribute to the US?

If we're to be pobre, lets be because of the decisions we make, NOT because of the decisions washington/wallstreet are making for us. 🖤🇵🇷 Amor Boriken

😂yes Jesus said yes 👍 become a STATE for my servant Enrique Sepulveda love 💕 HIM my jesus christo para Pablo 💖 Josefa Sepulveda de Caguas, Puerto Rico

Found this 3ys late to be apart of convo, but i hope PR takes independence. Look at Hawaii. Lost language, food, culture. List in statehood. Is money worth it? Feb. 2025

well, that's a conclusion of the Spanish American war your Island was Given to the control, it became a territory of the United States of America as well as Guam and other islands Please be factual

Statehood for Puerto Rico Now❗️ 🇺🇸 🇵🇷

Now that there’s a GOP trifecta, and given that PR is assumed to lean blue if it had statehood, it is likely not going to happen with this most recent legislation. Perhaps it can be done through some compromise, like splitting eastern Oregon and eastern Washington into a separate state.

Come on Puerto Rico has no resources if Puerto Rico wasn’t part of the US it will be another Cuba, PR cost the US millions a year I have no idea why they keep it

Puerto Rico should never be a state!!.. United States is NOT a free nation when the fact that a ethnicity can be written as less than into law…Puerto Rico honestly should become an independent island.. It won’t be better for them to be part of a place that hates them & their kind.. The whole reason the cost of living keeps going up & no one is doing anything about it is so you can’t have a nice life off Welfare.. The United States is NOT a country that cares about its ppl if you become a state to have Welfare they will drive the price for rent & homeownership through the roof so you still can’t afford it..


I’m hoping that ppl learn the way to solve racism is not to force the racist to give to you.. It’s be thriving independently of them.. ❤🎉

As it seems right now, Gaza will be a state before Puerto Rico....

I’m a Puerto Rican by ethnicity but I was raised in Hawaii !! And I want to tell my people no !! Be careful look at Hawaii before voting for statehood look at what happened to native and local Hawaiians don’t fall for it …

I vote statehood ❤

What this video failed to mention is that the majority of Islanders want Statehood. The 5 last plebiscites the opposite parties come up with voting strategies like leave your ballot empty...

Cause they can't get there shit together. BS, in america, we have native Americans. They own casinos, preserve land tribal rights citizenship,and so on. , STOP BLAMING OTHERS. BLAME P.R FOR IT DOWNFALL.,STATEHOOD 51,or join MADURO IN VENEZUELA. 🇵🇷🏝🏛🇺🇸🏴‍☠️.

Solo los lambones quiren ser Estado Unicences

Hey, I love your videos and especially this three part series, so insightful and informative. I would love to see an updated version. ❤

Cause nobody wants it to be a fuckin state that’s why only old boomers

If Puerto Rico becomes a state is like selling our soul, our culture, our pride.

Porque Puerto Rico es España.

YA SÍ ES ESTADO DE LA UNIÓN AMERICANA POR MANDATO IRREVOCABLE DEL 57% DE LOS PUERTORRIQUEÑOS NORTEAMERICANOS.. DESE EL DÍA 5 DE NOVIEMBRE DE 2024 ES AUTOEJECUTABLE...!!! POR QUÉ LOS ÚNICOS DUEÑOS LEGÍTIMOS SON LOS RESIDENTES NORTEAMERICANOS PUERTRRIQUEÑOS DE U.S.A. PUNTO . Y EL VONGRESO y EL PRESIDENTE DONALD TRUMP TIENEN LA OBLIGACIONES CONSTITUCIONAL DE ATACARLO .... YA. WOW ❤😊.

Contrary to what stupid MAGA puertoricans think, Republicans are the ones that oppose Puerto Rico from becoming a state because they think that, that would create two more Democrats US Senators. And thus, it would push the balance in favor of the Democratic party to control the US Senate.

Great video, and Puerto Rico should become a State if that's what the residents vote for.

Great Job Bianca, your videos are excellent, full of true educational content. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico living in the US for professional reasons, but I love my island, people, and culture. Extremely proud Boricua. Puerto Rico has a lot of potential.

Thank God for social media, we can spread the word about the truth to set us free.

Puerto Rico will become a state when the referendum only gives them (puerto Rican’s) two options.
Statehood or Freedom

I don’t think statehood would solve every issue PR faces and the down side is a loss of identity-culture, cuisine and cost of living will skyrocket. We have to find a solution that works for us soon.

Dear PR, get out while you still CAN!!!!!!

I’m not even lying your freakin fine as heck. So beautiful. I wish you were a conservative and not a libtard

ELA FOR EVER!

PR está bien como está Estado Libre Asociado......o es que tú eres una de las que tienes propiedad en PR y como no pagas contribuciones hablas MM......no hables más porquería pues tú nunca haz vivido en PR para opinar.....ni puertorriqueña eres para estar hablando lo que no te importa

It’s unfortunate but the USA has a history of exploiting the people of Puerto Rico and the island as a whole for its own benefit. They’ve proven over and over to not care for the people but only from what they can take from the island. I hope that things can change but with the current leadership, I don’t see it happening..
