No, they're very happy with the limbo situation that they are in right now. Eventually, they will have to become a state.

Let the people of Puerto Rico to decide, that's what the elections are for, but right now Puerto Rico is like an State, with most benefits from the federal government.

Should be left up to the people of Puerto Rico. Better yet, give them Independence.

It wouldn't really bother me, but the way things are going, the UK could one day become the 51st state. Americans think of the UK as European, but in the scheme of things, we're not really. The Brit's still think of themself as seperate from the the rest of Europe like when you hear them talkinga bout 'Europe', not 'Mainland Europe'. We are a lot more similar to the USA than we are to any European country. So one day in the future...

Well, they are culturally different to most of the United States, but so was Hawaii so I would say yes.

Yes, they get all the benefits of being citizens but pay no taxes. They are basically governed immigrants that need to be assimilated.
