Why isn't Puerto Rico a State?

I can't understand the reasoning behind not just making them a state at this point.

Because then they would be free to move anywhere in the US if they wanted.

Puerto Ricans are US citizens and can move where ever they want already.

They don't want to be a state. It's their choice.

Do Puerto Ricans even want to become a state?

They don't want to be a state. I believe they've voted on it and they rejected statehood.

If I'm not mistaken, I think they're becoming more and more in favor of it. That could be bad/old information.

Since when does the government let people make their own choices?

PR doesn't want to become a state.

You telling me they don't pay taxes?
Posted on 2/12/15 at 8:25 am to Broke
They don't want to be.
Posted on 2/12/15 at 8:27 am to Broke
I believe they don't pay personal federal income tax. Becoming a state may change that.
