Puerto Rico has some advantages not afforded to other sections of our country. whether they be islands or territories. Puerto Rico is in the unusual situation of having our Federal benefits including among others. housing. education. agriculture. and national defense without contributing to the Federal Treasury. People born in Puerto Rico are automatically citizens of the United States. having free rights of immigration and migration just as we have between Hawaii and Alaska. yet they pay no income tax or any other Federal tax. Puerto Rico is subject to all tariff laws applied by the United States to imports from foreign countries but the only taxes in Puerto Rico are those levied by the legislative assembly of Puerto Rico. On the other hand. all Federal agencies that operate in the United States operate in Puerto Rico and that expense is borne entirely by the United States Government.
