There is a binding plebiscite vote in the works for November 2023. Not yet approved, but even the proposal is noteworthy for the history section. https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/us-lawmakers-urge-binding-vote-puerto-rico-statehood-84842296

Puerto Rico, a territory of the U.S.A.

[edit]

Since 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)[reply]

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)[reply]

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Though the current information on date format is also unsourced; not sure if we should remove it entirely. This seems to be a common issue for date formats, as seen in List of date formats by country, presumably because date formats are so commonly used that no one actually bothers to formalise them in text.

Immigration and emigration

[edit]

I 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.[1]

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)[reply]

3rd paragraph contains a typo, replace "Overseas" with "Oversees", sentence containing typo included below for ease of locating the error " as it is not a state, Puerto Rico does not have a vote in the U.S. Congress, which overseas it under the Puerto Rico Federal Relations Act of 1950. Congress approved a territorial constitution in 1952" 2600:1003:A810:2FF6:FC4F:F904:8ACE:AF9F (talk) 22:50, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
