That is a good question. One of the biggest problems with Puerto Rico is currently the island is treated like shit with several shipping laws like the Jones Act. In reality, the place should have been spun off as an independent nation decades ago. Dims want it as a state to secure two more dim senators for (s)elections. I've often wondered if it were legal to backdoor it into the US as a county of another state. Say Florida annexed it, for example. I am sure there are obstacles to that but if it were part of FL, Venezuela would be in serious shit making statements like they did.
