They receive a lot of benefits as a territory. And whether the Hispanic media portrays it or not, they are a very impoverished community. Them declaring independence is never gonna happen.
Ikr? Cuba is thriving so much despite all the embargo on it and countries that do business with it. US never bullies or destabilize region and countries for their benefits, especially their neighbors.
