Puerto Rico was a colony of Spain from 1493 to 1898. On July 25, 1898 Puerto Rico became a colony of the US. In 1917 Puerto Ricans became US Citizens. In the mid 1950's Puerto Rico became a Commonwealth of the USA.
Puerto Ricans cannot be considered immigrants because Puerto Rico is part of the USA, and nobody can immigrate within their own country.

In 1898 it become ceded to the U. S. after the Spanish-American warfare. Then, in 1918, it grew to grow to be a Commonwealth. Puerto Ricans are American by way of delivery, and performance been sine 1898. we are as a lot American as every person else. We communicate in most cases Spanish, yet some English too. Being 0.5 Puerto Rican, I communicate from journey.
