They are statutory citizens but their nationality is Puerto Rican.
Puerto Rico has a non permanent political association with the US called Commonwealth, they can be fully independent if they want to thru elections.

No. * no longer a 2d classification, or 0.33 classification, nor anyother classification of state. no longer an state of any degree. * Puerto Rico is a territory, an prepared territory (with our personal community goverment, no longer being managed out of an workplace in Washington). * mutually, a non lined territory, technically speaking no longer a "section" of the united states, yet purely a "resources". extra or a lot less like a colony (although maximum folk in PR and united states rekject using that element period). Puerto Rico isn't the purely territory of united states in this position, the U. S. Virgin Islands is yet another get mutually.

No.
Anyone living in a territory does not get represented in congress by a voting member.
If you lived there you would not get to vote either.
Puerto Rico is a non-state by choice. At least twice they have voted statehood down in referendum.

Who thinks that? They're the ones who insist on speaking Spanish and not becoming a state, while collecting all the benefits of being a US territory....nothing is being forced on them.
