1. I support it...

They are allowed to enlist into the U.S. Army National Guard. I had many friends who served with me who did. They pay social security and can collect it. If their people voted for it, we should welcome them.

2. I will support whatever

the people of Puerto Rico think is best for them.

3. Guam, American Samoa, the Virgin Islands and the Marianas too if they wish.

5. After several years of arguing it out, they voted to become a state.

We should begin work towards doing that. I have been to Puerto Rico, its a beautiful island and the people are wonderful. They'd be a great state.

PS, and at the same time, maybe we make DC a state?

6. If that's what they want, then fine

but D.C. should get it before P.R. does...

7. I stand with PR
