Pew research reports that 2/3 of mainland americans favor allowing PR to become a state if that's what they want.
Governor Wanda may appoint two senators and however many representatives and send them to Washington. Past PR governors have done this. Both houses of US congress would have to approve adding PR as a state and recognizing their members of Congress.
Mitch McConnel would oppose this simply because he opposes everything (seriously what is that guy *for* besides Republican judges?).
Thoughts?

Puerto Rico is a [BLEEP] hole.

We don't have enough room to add another star to our flag.

Especially after America attempted to sterilize the island over a 30 year span

Why wouldn't the UK want the Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman, etc. to have a say in the UK elections?

Those places all issue their own unique passports. Most of the residents are not UK citizens.
They get priority for emigrating to the UK proper and becoming citizens, but no guarantee.
Kind of like how the US used to treat the Phillippines.

My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
