Why are Puerto Ricans considered Americans?
<|assistant|>
Puerto Ricans are citizens of the United States, because they are entitled to all the rights and privileges of a U.S. citizen as set forth in the American Citizen Act of 1917, including the right to vote in Federal elections, the ability to serve in the U.S. armed forces, and the right to live and work in all 50 states. Additionally, Puerto Ricans are not subject to the same immigration restrictions as non-citizens.
