When they voted for it, which wont happen. They get all the benifits of citizenry, with no taxes. Why would they want to be a state.

It hasn't. It's a dominion. Peurto Ricans are US citizens but have no representation in Congress & they can't vote for president.

It's not. Though survey on it show less than 10% want Independence and less than 20%(I think) want Statehood.
