Puerto Rico, a territory of the U.S.A.
editSince Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States of America, working citizens are taxed income tax. They should not be taxed because they are not allowed to elect representatives in the U.S. Congress nor are they allowed to vote in a Presidential election. This is taxation without representation. The Puerto Rican citizens should be allow to vote for statehood to become a state of the United States or be granted and freed to become their own country. 141.126.4.115 (talk) 11:13, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

In the date format, it should be noted that Puerto Rico uses mm/dd/yyyy in English but uses dd/mm/yyy in Spanish. TranquiRun (talk) 01:35, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
Immigration and emigration
editI have removed the following sentence, which is obviously incorrect as written and not supported by the reference. It was possibly intended to refer to legal immigrants.
As of 2019, Puerto Rico was home to 100,000 permanent legal residents.

Commonwealth Status allows Puerto Rico to keep its culture while maintain a strong, quasi-state relationship with the United States. If the situation arises, Puerto Rico could vote for independence which is something that it could not do if it becomes a state Gabriellexmendez (talk) 15:41, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
