The US Congress retains full control over all US Territories and sooner or later Puerto Rico will join the United States, become totally Independent or reaffirm its Status as a Territory. There are 4,000,000 US Citizens on that Island Territory that absolutely must determine their own status.
Puerto Rico has not become a State of the U. S.

Puerto Rico is currently not a state, but a commonwealth within the US. In the 2012 elections, Puerto Rico held a referendum where they were given the choice to keep their current status, become independent, or become a state. Puerto Rico voted to become a state, but it is now up to Congress to decide. It is likely that it will not pass, however.
