Are "they" trying to make this happen? I guess it all depends on the economy and ways of life in Puerto Rico. Becoming part of the United States could be a big change for someone if things are completely different where they are.

I feel that if the good people of Puerto Rico are good enough to fight for this country, then they ought to be able to enjoy the benifits of statehood.
