Puerto Rico was ceded to the USA after the Spanish American as spoils of War. They were given full American citizenship many decades ago. There are more Puerto Ricans living in the USA than in the islands. My neighbor across the street is a dual service 38 year veteran E-9, and even fought in Grenada and Panama.

===========================================
A "citizen" is not necessarily a "natural born citizen."
If they were, the framers, and those that ratified and subsequently amended the federal Constitution, would not have had to make the distinction. AI,S2,C2 & AI,S3,C3 vs AII,S1,C5
So no, not all Puerto Ricans are "natural born Citizens" simply because they are U.S. "citizens" just as not all "citizens" in the U.S. are "natural born Citizens." The example most people understand is Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Not to mention, there are probably a certain percentage of those PR "refugee's" that aren't even citizens of PR.
