I'm not saying they are any less U.S. citizens. The Puerto Rican Government is very quick to cite their status as U.S. Citizens when they want aid/money. If you've been there and you traveled through the island, then you would know I am accurate in my assessment of their economy and why they consistently fail to improve their own quality of life. As for the Virgin Islands question, it depends upon whether you're talking about U.S., British or both.
