Puerto Rico is a part of the United States. That's almost like asking, "Why did New Yorkers go to Connecticut?"

No because otherwise all Americans would have to go to Washington to vote. We are a republic.

President Bush is full of...well, you know....  Bush should NOT force Puerto Rico into becoming a State!!!!  It is up to the people of the Associated Free State of Puerto Rico to decide whether they want to become a State or not!!!

Someone who has been born on a US Territory, such as Puerto Rico, is considered a US citizen.  They can run for presidency if they are at least 35 and be a resident of the US for at least 14 years.

The ignorance in the US about Puerto Rico is remarkable.\n\n1.Puerto Rico along with Cuba remained the last autonomous regions of Spain until 1898\n2. Puerto Rico was invaded by the US in July 1898, US naval ship bombed San Juan and many civilians died.\n3.US imposed a military colony regime that lasted almost 50 years, also imposed a statutory citizenship.\n4. The nationalist revolts of the 30's and 40's convinced the US that Puerto Rico was never going to be assimilated like Hawaii did, that annexation was impossible due to the strong national identity of Puerto Ricans and the fact that Puerto Ricans were fighting the colonial regime since the invasion.\n\n5. In July 25 1952 Puerto Rico finally achieves a self governing status. A constitution is voted and established. The official name of the government will be : Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico ( translation: Puerto Rican Free Associated State) (This state was inspired by the Irish Free State before Ireland became a full sovereign state in 1948)\n6. Puerto Rico's self government was recognized by the United Nations in 1953. \n\n\nPuerto Rico is a nation , it is a latin american country, no doubt about it. it has a common language and history with Cuba and the rest of Latin America and a culture of it's very own that makes puerto ricans unique. Puerto Rico has an olympic team and competes in all international events as a nation. Puerto Rico has won many international events including 4 times the crown of Miss Universe. A puerto rican movie was nominated for an Oscar as Best Foreign Film in 1989 for "Lo que le paso a Santiago".\n\nPuerto Rico's current political status is that of a self governing commonwealth associated with the US (this status does not make it part of the US).This current status is not permanent and it's self determination is recognized by the United Nations. This status has helped puerto ricans enjoy some benefits while the US has had 2 military bases, and protection of US commercial interests which makes Puerto Rico an important export market for US products.

Yes, they can. However, as the President is elected by electoral votes (which are determined by a state's population), all of the people residing there actually only get one vote. How's that for fair?

No. The very latest you can vote is on election day.\n\nYou'll have to wait for the next election to vote.

I don't think so.  Puerto Rico's main issue revolves around that lack of a middle class.  Socioeconomic differences are of the hardest to resolve but I feel a political revolt is a more likely result.

We do every couple of years or so its called an election.\n\nThe last presidential election was participated in by about 30% of those eligible to vote.  Pretty pathetic huh?  To put that into perspective more people vote for the American Idol than did for the last president.\n\nIf you are don't like the way things are going, or if you do like them you need to make your thoughts known at the ballot box.\n\nGet your friends involved until people get off their asses and participate nothing is going to change either way.

Puerto Rico doesn't have a president.  They are a Commonwealth so they have a governor. \n\nThus the President of Puerto Rico is George W Bush.  The governor is Anibal ACEVEDO-VILA. She was elected in the 2004 elections.

Puerto Rican, you determine the race of the child from the father. I'm Hispanic and my sons father is white, so my son is considered white.

Yes, there is a difference because the people who born in US have a constitutional citizenship, that’s a citizenship derive by constitution but there are people who actually are US citizens but don’t born in US, nether in US military base camp and that people have a statutory citizenship and that’s derived by law. That people enjoy must of the benefits in the constitution and the responsibilities but not all of theme. For example the people who are from Puerto Rico are US citizens but that people can’t vote for the president of the US in Puerto Rico, if that people move to Florida or New York or other state of the nation then they can vote for the president. .
