I am going to pick a bone about Puerto Rico. Why do some Americans would like to try to give statehood to Puerto Rico? Literally half of Puerto Ricans can't decide on whether they want to be fully independent, or completely integrate with the US! Let the Puerto Ricans decisively settle it themselves, before mainland Americans debate whether they should grant the island statehood.
