Well first of all reverse that question why doesn't the British Virgin Islands bind with the U..S. Virgin Islands? I would say that British Virgin Islanders are part of the British Government.
While the citizens are of the US Virgin Islands are citizens United States.
This issue was actually discussed by the British and US Governments during the 1950s, but there was a great deal of resistance to the idea locally, particularly in the British Virgin Islands.
