Puerto Ricans are eligible for social security and Medicare, so they’re getting something in return for those. Puerto Rican corporations also don’t pay federal corporation tax.

But they don't have a vote on whether those entitlement should even exist in the first place.

There have been public referendums over the decades. Only the 2017 one turned out in favor of statehood, and it had only 22% turnout. Public opinion polling only supports statehood by a slim majority.

Try that again in a month.

and those are taxes all citizens of our country pay.

As an immigrant I get to both pay federal taxes and can’t vote, so no representation. :)

Just pointing out they’re not necessarily correlated.

Well, generally constitutional rights don't fully apply to us non-citizens. Don't think that's a very meaningful argument in this context.
