They should just annex Canada for resources. It's a big piece of land

There's no incentive for Puerto Ricans to become a state. They get the full benefits of the US Welfare System without actually having to pay income taxes. They're a bunch of selfish losers.

If they became a state, the infrastructure investment would be huge, and they would actually start to grow.

Mexico.

I'll be posting more good ideas throughout the day.

Nah man you guys were supposed to pick countries that Americans could actually use/enjoy. Canada best answer so far, but I don't know how we'd swing it. Mexico and Taiwan could be cool. Might take a long time to deal with the cartel.

Puerto Rico. It's kind of ridiculous they aren't a state.

I don't know, but we should either get rid of mooching Puerto Rico or make them pay federal taxes.

Split Utah, South Dakota, and Florida all into two seperate states each, for a combined total of 3 new states, and an automatic 6 new senate seats that will be reliably Republican.

That'd be about as fair as the Dems who constantly piss and moan about how they think turbo liberal Washington D.C. and the Phillippines should be granted statehood.

Why would anyone want to become a US state after we default on our debt, as our country spirals into oblivion culturally, and the nation fractures among conservative and radical liberal lines?

Do you think it is efficient for a government to carry zero debt? Do you think the US is at serious risk of default?

America ain't at risk for anything. We are too big to fail. Check back in 200 years

Wall off NYC, Chicago, LA, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Austin, Atlanta, and Denver. Let them be "city states" like DC. They can have electoral votes, but are not part of the states they were any more. Also, every Democrat has to live in one of them. Off topic, but an idea.

Revoke statehood for Hawaii. Shouldn't be more than an overseas territory.
