Because they’re a territory and not a state.
Whenever it comes up, they reject becoming a state - it’s not a beneficial change for them (I don’t blame them).
They passed three pro-statehood referendums since 2012. It doesn’t seem to matter. Presumably, if they passed a pro-independence referendum, it wouldn’t happen either.
It helps that many of them don’t pay federal income tax (though they do pay other taxes)
Don’t territories get 1 non-voting representative (effectively 0)?
