Should Puerto Rico be a state?

Asked by deadleaf (212points) May 30th, 2010

Congress is secretly attempting to pass a bill known as HR 2499. This bill, if passed, will make Puerto Rico the 51st state. Aside from the obvious; taxes, benefits, political reenforcement for Democrats; What would be the actual pros and cons that WILL make a negative or positive impact on the United States, Puerto Rico and the American people?
