Answer 1

You definitely don't know everything about Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico is in the Caribbean not on a Caribbean island it doesn't exist. And its next to La Republica Dominicana.

Answer 2

It might good be that Matt Lauer was once regarding the Puerto Rican major comfortably as a logo of the way near this combat for the Democratic occasion candidacy is, because Puerto Rico has the final scheduled major of the yr (the Puerto Rican Republican occasion has a caucus, I think, previous). Puerto Ricans can't vote in Presidential elections however, being American residents, can vote in the event that they transfer to the mainland. However, they do maintain primaries (caucus) for each events and furnish 23 Republican delegates and sixty three Democratic delegates. At final verify, the Republican delegates had been uncommitted (a minimum of to not McCain), whilst the Democrats had been displaying for Senator Clinton, however that can difference. If the numbers keep to be as near as they're, the Puerto Rican delegates might, certainly, have a say within the nomination. If that is so, it's sure to create a create wave of racist and anti-Puerto Rican rhetoric, because the island isn't a state and is totally made from an ethnic minority (ugh! I can simply pay attention it now!!). If that is so, I consider Puerto Ricans might, for the VERY FIRST TIME, believe they've had a hand in deciding upon the character accountable for sending our guys and ladies to each American struggle because 1917 (in numbers which, pupils agree, are disproportionate to the populace). On one more be aware, Puerto Ricans don't pay federal earnings tax. They pay state and neighborhood taxes and revenue taxes (7%). I desire this is helping!

Answer 3

The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (Spanish: "Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico", IPA [estaðo libɾe asosjaðo ðe pweɾto riko]), also Porto Rico (archaic) and more commonly Puerto Rico, is a United States unincorporated territory with Commonwealth status[1] located in the northeastern Caribbean, east of the Dominican Republic and west of the Virgin Islands; approximately two-thousand kilometers (2,000 km; 1,280 miles) off the coast of Florida (the nearest of the mainland United States). The archipelago of Puerto Rico includes the main island of Puerto Rico, the smallest of the Greater Antilles, and a number of smaller islands and keys, the largest of which are Mona, Vieques, and Culebra. Puerto Ricans sometimes refer to their island as Borikén, or the Spanish variant Borinquen, a name for the island used by indigenous Taíno people. The current term boricua derives from the Taíno name for the island, and is commonly used to identify oneself as Puerto Rican.

Even though all people born in Puerto Rico are U.S. citizens, the nature of Puerto Rico's political relationship with the United States is the subject of ongoing debate in the island, the United States Congress, and the United Nations.[2] Those who support maintaining the status quo (i.e., Commonwealth status) insist that upon attaining this status, Puerto Rico entered into a voluntary association with the U.S. "in the nature of a compact", but according to a President's Task Force report,[3] Puerto Rico is an unincorporated organized territory of the United States, subject to the plenary powers of the U.S. Congress and with the "right to establish a constitution for the internal administration of government and on matters of purely local concern".
