How is it imperialism to ask the citizens of what is already a territory of a country to decide whether or not they want to become a full-fledged state?

Becuase that territory just happens to be outside North America(and before you mention Hawaii, uyes that was a bad idea too, but now we can't go back), not to mention that it is a third worldish hellhole waiting for pork and even more federal money.

Actually, Puerto Rico is part of North America. But I don't see why some arbitrary continental boundary ought to be of any substantive significance anyways.

It's in the Caribbean Plate. And you kindly ignored the second half of my post.
