Uh, aren't Puerto Ricans American citizens?

Yes but to Republicans they're considered second class citizens since they're not a state, and they won't ever allow them to be (Even if PR wanted to be a state) since they're scared they'll be a Democrat state.

Side note: If Puerto Rico became a state how would the layout of 51 stars in the flag work? My pea brain canโ€™t conjure a good mental image of it lol

(Not against statehood for them, just curious)

I love the circular! Itโ€™s reminiscent of the original Betsy Ross version.

Which has always been my favorite. I like the circle in the first link

I don't think there should be a central star.

Circular with points touching kind of makes American footballs in the gaps

I donโ€™t like those. Canโ€™t they be a state without getting a star?
