Puerto Rico has not become a State of the U. S.
Puerto Rico voted to become a state in the 2012 Referendum. However, it is now up to Congress to decide if Puerto Rico will become the 51st state.

My opinion doesn't count. That decision snould be vested in the legal residents of Puerto Rico.
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.
Well, Puerto Rico is a US territory... you make the math. Puerto Rico is not poor, but is not rich either. If Puerto Rico become a state of the Union will become the poorest state. But if we compare with other contries around PR, PR is way above them.
no
Only the Puerto Rican people should determine that. They have the third option of remaining a Territory.
A star representing Puerto Rico would be added to the US flag only if Puerto Rico were to become a State in the Union. At present it is a self-governing territory of the United States, not a State. The option to seek statehood has failed to win a majority in several plebiscites held in Puerto Rico, so, for the time being, there will be no star representing Puerto Rico.
Puerto rico will never be a state
