None. If the person born in Iowa moves to Puerto Rico as a permanent resident, they cannot vote for President and do not have congressional representation (except for a single delegate that can vote but his vote cannot break ties-therefore worthless). The Puerto Rican resident does not pay federal income tax on money Earned on Puerto Rico. Plenty of taxes are still paid, just not federal income tax on money earned on Puerto Rico while a resident of Puerto Rico. A person born in Puerto Rico that moves to Iowa as a permanent resident has the identical rights as his neighbors. There is a question whether or not a person born on Puerto Rico can run for President since it is not a state. But most scholars think that if that person is a resident of one of the 50 states when running for President, it would not be an issue. People born in Puerto Rico are citizens of the US by Statute, not by Constitution, but again, most scholars think this is a distinction without a difference.
