In the last three votes they voted for statehood but Congress just wouldn't act. They should be a state already. Americans get so friggen short sited every few generations. If Hawaii and Alaska weren't states already I'm sure there'd be a large element wanting them cut loose right now too.

Land is a finite resource. As bad as Carter was as President the worst thing he did was giving the Panama Canal territory away.

Valid points agree with Panama Canal as well. Imagine if we had some stabilizing presence in Central America right now? Think of how that could influence the border crisis.
