Hace dos meses la federación de jóvenes republicanos de Texas dio una respuesta tajante a la solicitud de estadidad radicada por el actual gobierno penepé en el Congreso estadounidense. La respuesta es que de ninguna manera aceptarían la admisión de Puerto Rico como estado y dan numerosas razones para ello. Para que vean solamente parte de esa reacción:
Whereas admission of Puerto Rico as a state would necessitate that America become officially bilingual and that this would increase the normalization of non-use of English with an inevitable decline in our cultural desire and ability to assimilate immigrants, especially Spanish speaking ones.
Whereas making Puerto Rico a state would subject it to the full brunt of federal regulation and unfunded mandates, further bogging down its long term economic prospects.
Whereas the ruction and intraparty strife from this past electoral cycle has shown us the dangers of a party hierarchy seen to align with the left on important national identity issues.
Whereas we believe the economic and political issues that face Puerto Rico can be addressed fairly and adequately without the radical solution of granting them statehood.
Whereas Puerto Rico’s Spanish language civil law legal system already presents hurdles when enforcing full faith and credit and for mainland courts sitting in diversity jurisdiction. Should statehood increase the problems these issues present to judicial economy, the administration of justice would suffer as a result.
Therefore be it resolved that the Texas Young Republican Federation opposes the admission of Puerto Rico as a state, encourages the elected representatives of the people of Texas to oppose the same, and encourages the Young Republican National Federation to reject any resolution in its favor.
Es humillante para nuestro pueblo que haya un grupo de puertorriqueñ@s capaz de arrastrarse pidiendo que nos acepten como estado cuando es obvio que, aparte de que no les conviene, NO NOS QUIEREN.
