Papo, I believe that the US government wants to keep PR as a territory for convenience. They never mean for us to be a State, otherwise we could be already. PR were given citizenship in 1917 for the sole purpose of draf us to the WW1. The 936 will phase out, but I bet you that they will come on with a substitude. Otherwise the US will face a huge migration of PR's from the island to all main cities in the US. I am not joking, two weeks ago I was in PR for my gradpa funeral and seriously that were the comments of all my family. Now, if we become a state, the USA could not do many things they do now with PR, one of them is contamination. The Navy and Marine will poo in their pants when there is 7 more congressman and senators on their tail. well, thatis my two cents, I will aport more as it comes.
