Puerto Rico is part of the US and has been since 1898. Should it become a state? That is up to the people of Puerto Rico to decide. In three votes, the people of Puerto Rico have overwhelmingly stated they want to be part of the US, but the vote is split with just a slight edge of the voting public voting for some sort of territorial status over statehood. The current Governor of PR (Luis Fortuño) is trying to have another plebiscite scheduled for 2012.
