[QUOTE]Originally posted by Baloo: [QB] Puerto Rico is free to "join the club" any time it wants to. Right now their torn between three choices: [list=1] [*]Become a state, [*]Become an independent (but very tiny) nation, or [*]Remain a territory. [/list] As a territory of the United States, Puerto Rico does have some advantages. They have almost all the benefits they'd have if they were a state, except representation in Congress and the right to vote for the president. As an independent nation, they might not have the absolute protection of the U.S. On the other hand, they could set their own foreign policy. As things stand, the populace of Puerto Rico is too evenly divided over what to do, so they stay the same. Mind you, there are militant groups who want each of the above options. I suppose right now, it's just easier to let things stay the way they've been for now. --Baloo [/QB][/QUOTE]
