Nobody questions their citizenship.


Nobody gives a frick about Hawaiians. There’s fewer people there than the Virginia Beach MSA. I think about both of those areas about the same amount.

So I guess I wasn't talking to you.

Ask a Puerto Rican on the island if they are Puerto Rican or American.


Correct, own Olympic team, own World Baseball Team. All they want is the American money and protection.

Howdy,

After reading so many immature homophobic, gay and queer jokes by the SEC Rant directed at TX A&M, its students, and traditions, are you really stooping to that low-trash level and going down that path also?

I would have expected better from an Aggie. Disappointed Gig'em

Puerto Ricans are not American. Am I right here or just being ignorant?


You are correct, sir.

PR is merely a Territory of the US -- like Guam, Samoa, and and dozens of other territorial Pacific and Atlantic islands in this vast world. There are no US Senators from Puerto Rico. They do not elect US Presidents.

Spanish is the customary language used in daily legislative debates and the internal functions of most local agencies. Same of PR courts.

Just for citation purposes (which a Google search would have given)

President Woodrow Wilson signed the Jones-Shafroth Act (1917) on March 2, 1917, giving Puerto Ricans U.S. statutory citizenship


But what about, 'The United States Supreme Court in Rogers v. Bellei (1971) '? The verdict held that statutory citizens do not have a constitutional right to U.S. citizenship.

Edit: I know that they are legally American citizens. But as we know, legal does not mean in practice.

Perhaps the question you should be asking is why does the USA own territories that do not have statehood? Puerto Rico, Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Greenland, why do we hold external colonies at all? They should either be states or independent sovereigns.
