HI got statehood for same reason AK did. They asked for it.

At a time of peak nationalism, military and econ bennies were found positive for inclusion -- at the same time --so no upsetting the congressional balance. One state plus, the other minus. No such balance on tap for DC or PR. Republicans would be history.

There was also some kind of two-fer deal with AZ and NM.

Unless we find an island out there with leftover Nazis that we can annex, I doubt PR ever gets in. With the current splintering of the US, maybe some new boundaries could be drawn up. MI's UP, the left coast's Jefferson, northern ID and eastern WA ...

This is all filed in the politics-are-fun folder. Which we know is a myth.
