To grab a nice credo from your countries young history: "No taxation without representation"; they are subject to US federal law, US policies, pay federal taxes and use the USD as currency, so its only natural they should have representation.

The whole situation with all the "Unincorporated territories of the United States" is dodgy as fuck anyways, reeks like proper oldschool colonialism.

It really is. Those countries/islands are all in a permanent state of limbo. No one politically even talks about those territories anymore and what to do with them. I can't remember the last time I heard a peep about PR becoming a state, been at least 5 years.
