So each Puerto Rican votes for president? Collects social security or other US government assistance? Or has to pay the same income tax? Puerto Rico has an autonomous government that controls what happens there. The US controls it’s trade, military, and all matters that deal with other nations. Much like Guam, but I bet you think that it is a clear cut, black and white part of the US. They have their own government and Olympic Teams. They are a “commonwealth” of the United States, thus the term subsidiary. You know the term subsidiary right , like being controlled by a parent company. Now get off the internet and get back to your studies. If you’ve already graduated I feel sorry for your government teacher.
Puerto Rico is unincorporated territory. The fact that you don't consider it to be part of the US shows that you are some kind of ignoramus or an angsty Buffs fan. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and guess the latter.
It is not an unincorporated territory it is a commonwealth, which allows it greater autonomy and government control. But don’t take my word, just look up Puerto Rico’s own government site. But before you do that, please explain to me me how Kelati is a US citizen if she wasn’t born to US parents and has only lived here for 3 years. I don’t personally know her but you might? Just wondering how that works? And to the other poster, I don’t begrudge her her “American dream” that is wonderful. I hope she makes an amazing life here. But don’t claim just because she came to the US for two years, that she is somehow a product of Virginia.
