When it's a commonwealth of the US and according to polls most Puerto Ricans want PR to become the 51st state. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that girl won, but I just don't understand why a country that is a part of the US is competing separately.
Coreyants I never said independent country, I just said independent. And right now, it is in a limbo between independence and a statehood. However since it is not a US state, it counts as being independent. Sucks but that's how it is.
