Why should we annex Puerto Rico?
There are a number of reasons why it would make sense for Puerto Rico to become the 51st state. One is that a slight majority of Puerto Ricans wish to fully join the United States. Puerto Ricans are already considered U.S. citizens, although they cannot vote in U.S. elections unless they live in the United States (and not in Puerto Rico). Further, Puerto Ricans already pay some forms of U.S. federal taxes, Social Security, and others. Puerto Rico has been under U.S. sovereignty since the end of the Spanish-American War.
Puerto Rico is a part of which country?

Why do you think Puerto Ricans might be satisfied to remain a Commonwealth?
They can come and go if they please from island to island , and they are protected by the us government. There have been three island-wide votes on the question, and maintaining the current status has one each time. That suggests that Puerto Ricans may continue to want to remain an organized territory of the US, rather than become a state or become fully independent.
Is Puerto Rico rich country?
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.
