With statehood, Puerto Rico would have about 6 voting representatives in the House, and 2 Senators along with about 8 Electoral votes in a presidential election. With Statehood, Puerto Rico would receive much more federal money for all sorts of social programs and infrastructure improvements. Puerto Rico would also have more control over its own ports and territory. On the other side of the coin, statehood would mean that Puerto Ricans would lose the federal income tax exemption. Puerto Ricans pay prenty of federal and local taxes, but are exempt from most federal income taxes right now. There is also a cultural argument against statehood.
