Taking the history, Puerto Rico had the change to become a state from the 1950s to the 1970s. Alaska and Hawaii got it and Puerto Rico could have got it also. Now these days, it is clear that statehood in never to come to Puerto Rico. The current governor (Fortuño) which is a statehood party member, has made it even harder to come to an agreement with the US about this because of the mess he has done in his administration.
Is there going to be 51 US states in the future?
Right now, it is uncertain. Puerto Rico is the most likely candidate for becoming the 51st state, however, the territory has had numerous occasions to do so already and has not voted on statehood. On November 6, Puerto Rico will have another referendum on statehood where it will vote on whether to stay a territory, become a state, or become independent. It is unlikely that Puerto Rico will vote for independence, so it really comes down to statehood or keeping the status quo. It is expected that Puerto Rico will vote to keep territorial status.
