    Supposedly The Latinos Catholic background wouldhave them leaning more conservative as they are against abortion.

    At least that was a GOP talking point pre-2012

        I'm not sure what history you have read but everything I have witnessed and studied says they vote 85% liberal wacko. Yes, their Catholic faith and supposed strong family ties SHOULD cause them to dive into the conservative pond but alas, this is not the case. I suppose gubmint table scraps trump protecting unborn babies, family values and righteous living. Oh, yeah...no pun intended.

          If the population of PR were predominantly conservative voters, the lefty's in the US would be holding protests against granting statehood.

            Yup...The Rio Grande Valley is vastly & prominently Catholic & they don't give a hoot about it. The call themselves 'La Maquina' or the voting Machine & have been running blue with hard left representation without representation. Pro life & pro gun area, but none of that matters when you have gluttons for entitlements. Values mean nothing.

              I sure hope PR doesn't become a state because they bring nothing posotive to the table.

                  True. And nothing positive, either.

                      I don't think PR statehood is a great idea. On the other hand, if PR can hold a popular referendum and successfully gain statehood, it seems more reasonable that Texas could hold a popular referendum and successfully give up statehood in favor of independence. If the door opens, it should open both ways, IMO.

                          Good point. If that becomes the case then I'm all for it!

                            The Democratic party here in the US and left leaning politics across the globe have a strong foothold in the Catholic church.
