There is many reasons. One of them is because Puertorican feel Americanized and they like US. We like US and you can see that the second largest group of Latinos after Mexican are the Puertorican. For other side, we has made biggest contribution to US and it not would be fair from the US to let Puerto Rico alone. And there is some people that want the independece for Puerto Rico, but that are a small minority. Maybe in the 1940's independence has a lot of followers, but nowaday that is not true. Puerto Rico should be the next state of the USA.
Youre wrong I believe that Puerto Rico should be an independent country because of many reasons.1 Puerto Rico is not Americanized it has its own identity but there are some stupid people who don't appreciate being puertorrican and want to be American 2. Puerto Ricos identity in culture,sports and music surpasses any territory or colony 3. The most industrialize territory in the world 4.No nationality are better than others if the Americans could bring progress to their country Puertorricans can also
I believe that the people destroying our identity are the politicians that are corrupt and don't care about our island the only thing they do is humilliate our island to the U.S
And the answer about statehood is no,Puerto Rico is not for sale. Si tu eres de esos Boricuas que no aprecian nuestra isla deberia mudarte pero Puerto Rico nunca va a hacer estado JAMAS
Puerto Rico is not independent, it is a US Territory.
No, Puerto Rico is a Colony of the United States of America.
No. Puerto Rico is a US possession. Basically dependent.
My opinion doesn't count. That decision snould be vested in the legal residents of Puerto Rico.
A remote possibility, but if that option is chosen by a vast majority of the Puerto Rican voters then the US Congress might oblige them. I wish Puerto Rico was independent
puerto rico
Because, they are SJA
It has an independent judiciary.
== == Puerto Rico has never been an independent country. Puerto Rico was colonized by Spain and ceded to the US at the end of the Spanish American War. Puerto Rico is still a possession of the US.
Puerto Rico has not been an independent country since 1493. It is currently a territory of the United States and has been since 1898.
the country is indeed Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico does not celebrate it's independence, because it is not independent. What it does celebrate is the formation of the Commonwealth in July 25.
