How hard is this?

you have to be saying all Americans are Britons forever. Or is that
not true? And if not why not?

They are US citizens for as long as they live, if they want to be.
Chzekoslavakia is a bad analogy, because that country became defunct.

As ours might and not very distantly.

As far as Britain and the US, a colonial could remain a British
subject and return
to England, many loyalists did just that.

*Tories were kicked out to Canada or Britain, many were born here of
parents born here. It's actually quite interesting. *But

Evidently this subject is a little more difficult than you are able to
understand.

So, if PR became independent, PR's will have a choice of
citizenship, and maybe, depending upon what PR elects to do, they
could
be dual citizens.

*PRs would be allowed American citizenship at the time of separation,
under such terms as may be set-which would, if written sanely, state
they must be resident in the US at that time. While there would be
some packing-in at the particular time, it would be finite and
controllable. Puerto Rico could not remain a permanent producing
ground for wave after wave of Nueva York bound cucarachas. Those who
came here would have expectations of a total break with the homeland,
so to speak.

*A few US citizens would head there too, but not very many. It will be
fascinating to see how an independent Puerto Rico deals with
immigration and sovereignty issues!

cucarachas? cockroaches?
You call Puerto Ricans cockroaches?LOL!!! and you told us you don't
use racial epithets.

Well, there are a lot of things you are wrong about up there.
the USA isn't going anywhere soon, and that is irrelevant, even so,
it is not analagous.

And according to law and Constitutional principles, any natural born
US citizen can't be stripped of citizenship for reason of living in
another country. You can't change that.

Have you finished spewing your bile and hatreds of Puerto Ricans yet?
