We need to think of Puerto Rico like Hawaii. Prior to 1941, Americans didn't know anything about Hawaii. Back then we thought of Hawaii very much how we think of Guam now - It's an island with an American military base.
Why not make Puerto Rico into Hawaii? Why do Americans go to the Bahamas and not Puerto Rico for vacation? Imagine if Puerto Rico was a full US state, like Hawaii. We would be jumping through hoops.
Our president has made it very clear he has no interest in Puerto Rico, even if they are American citizens. That's horrifying.
