#4 Let's bring in a state that is solidly demoncrat and is the same shape as Detroit.

#10 Make it very, very, clear that English is the language of the USA and Spanish will no longer be spoken in government offices or schools.

#13 Puerto Rico is exempt from the U.S. federal income tax, but it still pays Social Security and Medicare and local taxes and receives less federal funding than U.S. states.
