Either way, I'm surprised the media isn't covering this. Are they just going to casually mention in November that we're getting a new state like it's no big deal?
Technically the referendum is advisory only, Congress would still have to pass legislation for Puerto Rican statehood, so it'd likely get more attention during that process. And ag is right in how virtually impossible it'd be to oppose Puerto Rican statehood in that situation without looking anti-Hispanic, though no doubt the usual suspects will come out against it because they're already seen as anti-Hispanic anyway.
