Independence

The vast majority don't want independence though. Maybe 50, 60, 70 years ago (Truman almost got shot for that cause if I recall), but not now.

At least a plurality want statehood, and honestly it would make it easier to help them deal with their financial problems, so that option is best.

The Dems would love statehood....

Independence.

What about what the Puerto Rican people actually want?

What about what the people of the United States want? Its our country, we should be the final say on whether or not the US admits a new state

Pretty sure the vast majority of Americans wouldn't mind if Puerto Rico became a state or not. And plus, it's not directly their say. It's Congress's say. If people of the United States don't agree, they can vote the representatives who admitted Puerto Rico out.

Also, there wasn't any problem with Hawaii and Alaska becoming states, so I doubt there would be any fuss with Puerto Rico, even with the whole "Puerto Rico speaks Spanish more than English" thing.
