TIL that Puerto Rico isn’t a country, it’s actually US territory. Puerto Ricans have been US citizens since 1917 and can move freely between the island and the mainland.

Welcome to middle school civics class.
And they’ve voted to become an official state but congress won’t let them bc that means they’d have to be represented and add senators/house reps and it will shift the numbers.
You’re one of today’s lucky 10,000! Congrats!

Glad you brought that up but I do find it amazing at this point that so many do not know or want to know this, especially when something like a hurricane happens and Puerto Ricans desperately need help from “their” government.
Did Donald trump write this?
Traveling from Puerto Rico to the United States is easy but a lot of travelers forget to exchange their Puerto Rican currency for United States money. I have a business that will exchange Puerto Rican cash for American funds. I will buy your Puerto Rican dollars for 50¢, no limit. My website is PuertoCash.org.com/edu
If you think this is interesting then look into the Jones Act…
Fun fact, US have more then 1 territories, however most are ment for the military to use.
I hope you’re not American, you’d qualify for president…
They also don’t pay US income tax.
