The citizens of Puerto Rico are full US citizens as Puerto Rico is a protectorate of the US. They can vote and enter the US as US citizens carry US passports and pay taxes (although much more limited than citizens of states of the US). They enjoy US Military protection and follow US Federal Laws though some local laws can differ. Even though English isn't the legal language of the US it is the defacto official language and they learn it from a young age and a large protion of buisness in Puerto Rico is conducted in English.
