But... PR is part of the US and is a wonderful place full of kind people. I spent one of the best vacations of my life there going all the way around the island (and Culebra!) and it was nothing but gorgeous views, great food, friendly people (it does help to speak Spanish so you understand how friendly they are) and relaxing days.
And that was when the country was getting rocked by earthquakes and had recently been battered by a few climate-change monster hurricanes. Screw people who hate on PR, that place rocks and is more resilient than your average conservative commentator.

  Yes, and ones who don't vote for these losers. That's what's got them butthurt. And the fact that they're a majority Hispanic place where everyone born there is automatically a U.S. citizen. I'm sure that also makes them seethe.
  
  The main reason PR isn't a state is because Republicans are scared of how brown people would vote... and to a much greater extent, brown people in general.
  
  Well Puerto Ricans are also of mixed opinions on whether they would even want to be a US state.
  
  Everyone is of mixed opinions about everything, if they don't want to be a state they can be an independent nation with visa and passport rights.

  Puerto Ricans don't vote for anybody. They don't have representation in Congress, and they have zero electoral votes because they aren't a state.
  So, no, they're just butthurt because of racism, and Puerto Rico can't do anything about it because they don't have any representation.
  
  They do if they move to any of the 50 states.
