A little lesson in US civics - Puerto Ricans are US subjects while they are in Puerto Rico, but when they come to the States, they are AUTOMATICALLY citizens.
Just a little quirk in the law. Same for the various Pacific Islanders that are US territories, or the Virgin Islands.

Yeah, I know. The work visa confers benefits whether you don’t work at all (welfare), work only a little on the books (EITC), or really work (Social Security build-up via a valid SSN account).
