No impuestos sin representación.

It is time to put stop to United States colonialism. Like the inhabitants of the District of Columbia, the 2,800,00 people of Puerto Rico have languished too long without the full rights of citizenship (for comparison. Wyoming has fewer than 600,000 residents; by population; Puerto Rico would rank about 34th among the 52 states). Guam (pop.165,000), the Virgin Islands (pop. 120,000), and American Samoa (pop. 60,000) are too small for statehood (giving them each two senators would throw the already profoundly undemocratic U.S. Senate wildly out of whack), but there is nothing in the way of changing their status to bring them as close to actual citizenship as possible by granting their elected Representatives full voting rights in the House and, in a bonus from getting rid of the Electoral College, enabling them to vote for president.
