B. Cons i. For States like New Hampshire, Idaho, Nebraska, every state with less than four (4) million people in population – They will have less power in Congress than Puerto Rico since the number of Representatives is based on population. ii. The Hispanic community will have a greater voice in all political and economic issues. Richardson for President??? Good for Hispanics, bad for Anglos and African-Americans. 
Some people would say that Puerto Rico will be an economical drain to the US if they become a state. The fact is that Puerto Rico is already getting a great percent of economic assistance from the US. Becoming a state will not add to the package, it will just make it less as a assistance and more as a Right to it. Puerto Rico will be about the same level as Mississippi when it comes to economic assistance. 
Puerto Rico is already adding to the US economic because over four (4) million of Puertorrican live in the continental US. Lost of these puertorrican are professionals that have joined the US labor force and are paying state and federal taxes. Another big group are those participating in the Armed Forces. Puertorrican can and have been present side by side with other Americans in every war since WW1. They go from private to four start generals.

In addition to this, the high abundance of rainfall also allows the number of predators to increase as a result of which it becomes difficult for them to survive.

From the above condition, it can be generalized that the population of lizard will increase at a much higher rate.
