Just like Canada isn't a full fledged part of England, anymore, Puerto Rico isn't a US state but it is legally recognized as a possession of the United States and has been since 1912, after then President Teddy Roosevelt took it away from Spain when we won the Spanish American war in 1899. Also, Puerto Ricans are considered US Citizens under the law - which is why they don't need a passport to come into the US - and also why it's not illegal for Puerto Rican citizens to get Social Security benefits.
