Puerto Rico, el Estado Cincuenta y Uno?

So I haven't been listening to the radio for a long time, and I just caught a piece of Glenn Beck talking today about a push by the "regime" as I heard Rush calling the Obama administration today to make Puerto Rico the 51st state. The way it would be done is by imposing a vote that would take the current status of the island (territory) off of the table. This would lead to independence or statehood. Consistently, the people of Puerto Rico have voted against both options. But, if the current status is off of the table, it will essentially push Puerto Rico into becoming a state, and very likely adding two Democrat Senators and 4-5 Democrat Representatives. If that happens, I think Texas seriously should consider splitting into 5 states, which it can do, adding 7-8 more Republican Senators.

What are your thoughts on this?
