CuteRaven328, This being the primary instance, your comment seems unnecessarily cynical.

I am looking forward to going there. I served in the Marine Corps with a few good Puerto Ricans. They are good people

Puerto Ricans do pay federal tax on any income coming from US sources. Local income isn't taxed federally but still has PR tax. No taxation without representation

Purple Kitty, I do not understand (other than tax breaks for very wealthy) why PR is not a state in the USA!

Purple Kitty, Both my Great Grandpas, immigrated from Canaries Islands in 1880's to P.R. & both my Grandpas, immigrated to N. America in the the early 20th Century. So are citizens before basically any other Ethnic group were in the United States. Even Before the Great Exile.

So that's how Puerto Rico became part of the US.

Citizenship involves rights and responsibilities. Born on US soil?Native Americans didn't get citizenship until the 20th c. Spain sold PR to USA. Do PR's pay taxes? Should they?

All I can say, is that Puerto Rican’s are better off to be part of United States 🇺🇸

Uninitialized, actually it was in 1917 (via the Jones Act)when US citizenship was granted to the people of PR. In 1900 (via the Foraker Law) is when PR is recognized as a US territory.
