Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico is United States territory. No passport is necessary if you are a US citizen. The same applies to the U.S. Virgin Islands. You still must have valid identification and be taking a direct flight. If you were to change planes in Mexico, for example, a passport would be required.

If you are not a US Citizen or Green Card Holder, you would need a passport to enter the US in the first place but to go from Puerto Rico to other parts of the US is domestic travel and a passport is not required. However a passport can be the government-issued photo ID that is required for anyone to to board a commercial airplane.

Puerto Rico is a melting pot. Puerto Rican women are too diverse to categorize into 'traits'. Puerto Rican is not a race but a mixture of different cultures and races in a small island. After the discovery of Puerto Rico, the Queen of Spain allowed people from all over Europe to populate the island Africans were brought to the island as slaves and intermingled with the rest of the population since slavery on the island did not last very long. Today, 80% of Puerto Rico's population is white, 13% mixed and 6% black. Unlike most Latin American countries Puerto Ricans have no indigenous or Asian ancestry (with the exception of recent immigrants) so they are basically white, black, or mixed. One mentionable detail is that Puerto Rico has the most Miss Universe pageant winners with 5-- the only country with more wins than the U.S.

Originally the white in the Puerto Rican flag of 1892 was said to represent the victory and peace to be achieved after gaining independence from Spain. When the same design was adopted as the official flag of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico in 1952, the white was said to represent the republican form of government.

The Foraker Act granted only partial, rather than full citizenship to Puerto Ricans. It left the legal status of the island nebulous. The Jones Shafroth Act increased their representation and allowed for a popularly elected senate, all laws still needed to pass through Congress. Many Puerto Ricans were aggrieved at both bills, because they continued to only provide them partial rights.

Puerto Rico has a rain forest meaning raining in Puerto Rico is common.

Puerto Rico was a colony of Spain from 1493-1898. In 1898 the Puerto Rico was ceded to the US. Puerto Rico is technically still a colony. Its current status is "Free Associated Commonwealth of the United States" administered under the territorial clause in the Constitution of the United States.

"The Congress shall have power to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States; and nothing in this Constitution shall be so construed as to Prejudice any Claims of the United States, or of any particular State."

In other words, the US Congress has ultimate say-so in what happens in Puerto Rico. Any status Puerto Rico enjoys is because Congress passes a law. Puerto Rico does not have a voting representative in the US Congress.

Yes, Puerto Rico is a US dependent territory, but it does has its own flag. It's design features five horizontal bands of alternating colors red and white, being the top and bottom bands red, and an isosceles triangle with its base at the hoist and a five pointed star in the center of the triangle. This design was unveiled in 1892 and, with a few variations, it's the same that remains until our days.

In 1898 a peace treaty was signed between The United States and Spain who had been at war. This war was known as the Spanish-American War. Because Spain lost the war it had to turn over Cuba, The Philipines, Puerto Rico and Guam to the United States as part of the conditions for peace.

Yes, Puerto Rico is a United States Commonwealth, so a person born there is a natural born US citizen, so provided he meet the other requirements for President, a Puerto Rican born on the island or anywhere else in the U.S. could hold the office.
