Puerto Rico status referendum - June 11

[MeanBeanMachine]

In a way I'd like to see Puerto Rico become a state because I think it would be interesting, but statistically they'd contribute nothing but debt and unemployment.  For those of you unfamiliar with the numbers and only interested in demographics at the ballot box, Puerto Rico has a 12.4% unemployment rate and is $70,000,000,000 in debt.  Their island is also over a thousand miles from Miami let alone the rest of the country.  Facts can be stubborn things, but when you get your head out of the sand from obsessing over ballot box demographics you get to see the whole picture.  Still I'd like to see them get a chance at statehood if they want.
