Miranda, one thing is living in the USA where English is the dominant language and where in any given situation English is necessary and preferred, and another thing entirely is living in Puerto Rico and everywhere you turn Spanish is dominant and preferred. Puerto Rico is in the top five nations on Earth in population density. It is very hard to fit more people who are of the USA mainland on there. Physically the island is packed to the rafters in terms of population. The population is speaking Spanish all day long, and are Roman Catholics with atleast a third of them possessing African DNA and about 60% percent possessing indigenous DNA. The possibilities of genociding them and making them speak English only and assimilating them on that land that is small, circumscribed and densely populated and island isolated from the larger land mass and repopulating it Hawaii style and or New Mexico style is very slim to none. That is what is problematic.
If one wanted to make it look like a real USA state of the Union---genocide and repopulation would be the best way. The sterilization of Puerto Rican women in the 50's and 60's was one way. But that did not work entirely. Maybe some mass contamination with high cancer rates might work over time...but that affects property and the ability of the superior White people from the USA to occupy all that lovely Caribbean beachfront property....I don't know. They gotta think of something else.
Miranda if you were some rich white Conservative Politician who wanted to make Puerto Rico a state for some solid reason (none of them want to but let us fantasize about this), how would you divise a plan of conquest? I think you might just hit the nail on the head?
