Venezuela, the 51st State?
By M Dowling
President Trump is trolling again. So, hear ye, hear ye, Venezuela is to become a state before Canada. We want the oil? And what happens to the state of Greenland? The entire thing is not going to happen, and he knows that.
Fox News put up the latest “serious” statement from President Trump, saying he will make Venezuela the 51st state. He makes these statements to annoy the media or make a point about how loved he is or whatever, and hysteria follows.
In the United States, only the U.S. Congress has the constitutional authority to admit a new state into the Union. This power is granted in Article IV, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution, which states: “New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union.”
If we could make them a state, we wouldn’t have to deport Tren de Aragua anymore. They’d be free to roam.
